A smile for your Thanksgiving

[mokibear]

I know a lot of you are celebrating your Thanksgiving today so I wish you a wonderful day and although we celebrated ours here in Canada a while ago, I am truly thankful for this forum and the family I have gained from it.

I wish I could take credit for the following but alas my brain cells don't function as good as this anymore, enjoy:

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.
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!!

HAPPY   THANKSGIVING    TO  ALL

PUMPKIN  PIE

Hugs

Tee Hee - that was cute!  A friend sent me a link to a YouTube clip - type "I Will Survive Thanksgiving" in the search box.  Cute animation sung to the tune of 'I Will Survive".

Still in a food coma from all the Tryptophan in the turkey... Thanks, Moki!
