Happy
Thanksgiving to all! I received this in an email years ago, and it always
brings a smile to my face. I pray it will to you as well.
'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,
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.
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 BLESSED!
Have
a good, Godly, and very thankful day.
