Happy Eating

'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,

Stuffing with gravy, green beans, and tomatoes.

I felt myself swelling so plump and so round.

Till 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.
