    1. [MarinGenSoc] OFF TOPIC: HUMOR: The Night of Thanksgiving
    2. Lauren Boyd
    3. Dear listers: Following my other post, someone from one of the lists I admin sent me this saying, "One good poem deserves another." Happy Turkey Day to all, Lauren List Admin .................................. A thanksgiving poem... '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. May your thanksgiving be great (and safe)!!
