OUR THANKSGIVING DAY

by Beverly Sutton

The turkey's smoked.

The dressing is made.

Gotta watch Macy's

Thanksgiving Parade.

Stuff your face,

Stuff your gut,

Snooze in the recliner

'Til the pies are cut.

The cookie jar's full.

Nibble some more.

Back to the recliner

And snore, snore, snore.

Chat with family.

Yak, yak, yak.

It's now dark.

The hunters are back.

Warm the leftovers.

Eat some more.

Back to the recliner

And snore, snore, snore.

Clean the kitchen.

Sweep the floor.

Everyone's gone.

Lock the door.

Take a shower.

Snack some more.

Go to bed.

And snore, snore, snore!
