Happy Thanksgiving to all -- and I hope to watch the Ocktoberfest Parade from Kitchener!! Muriel ========== '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. May your taters 'n gravy Have nary a lump. May your yams be delicious, Your pies take the prize, May your Thanksgiving dinner Stay well off your thighs!!! MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING TRULY BE A BLESSED ONE THIS YEAR!!!
