"Twas the Night of Thanksgiving"

Hey all! I was helping my Mother sort through some papers today and found a e-mail that my Mother had printed off years ago of a Thanksgiving Poem, by whom I do not have a clue. Thought I would share it as we head into November.

Twas the Night of Thanksgiving

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 bettered 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 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 our pies take the prize,
May your thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs.
May your thanksgiving be blessed!!

Hope you enjoy! Talk to yall soon!
