Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving...

'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving . . . .

'Twas the night before 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!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful, blessed and most of all loving thanksgiving. Remember to be thankful for more than the delicious food that will be placed before you tomorrow but for your family and friends and most of all Gods gracious gift of salvation to us all! God bless..

With all my love,
