Thanksgiving time

'Twas the Night of Thanksgiving


'Twas the night of Thanksgiving, But I just couldn't sleep
I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep.
The leftovers beckoned - The dark meat and white
But I fought the temptation With all of my might.

Tossing and turning with anticipation
The thought of a snack became infatuation.
So, I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door
And gazed at the fridge, full of goodies galore.

I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,
Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.
I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
'Til all of a sudden, I rose off the ground.

I crashed through the ceiling, floating into the sky
With a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie.
But, I managed to yell as I soared past the trees....
Happy eating to all - Pass the cranberries, please.

May your stuffing be tasty, May your turkey be plump.
May your potatoes 'n gravy Have nary a lump,
May your yams be delicious May your pies take the prize,
May your Thanksgiving dinner Stay off of your thighs.

I am thankful for...

...the mess to clean after a party, because it means I have been surrounded by friends.

...the taxes I pay, because it means that I'm employed.

...the clothes that fit a little too snug, because it means I have enough to eat.

...my shadow who watches me work, because it means I am out in the sunshine.

...a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing, because it means I have a home.

...the spot I find at the far end of the parking lot, because it means I am capable of walking.

...my huge heating bill, because it means I am warm.

...the lady behind me in church who sings off key, because it means that I can hear.

...the piles of laundry and ironing, because it means my loved ones are nearby.

...weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means I have been productive.

...the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, because it means that I'm alive.

...this site and the forum, because it means I have many caring friends...

Happy Thanksgiving!
