Hope you all have a happy 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, your turkey be plump.
 Your potatoes 'n gravy have nary a lump.
 May your yams be delicious, your pies take the prize.
 May your Thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs.
