May you enjoy every bite.
And when you step on your scales
May your weight still be light.
May the cranberry sauce
Sparkle and shine;
The green beans for the casserole
Come straight off the vine.
May your baked sweet potatoes
Be really, truly sweet.
(Do add a ham
If you feel need of more meat.)
There should be plenty corn, rolls and salad
With lots of more stuff.
Oh! Don’t forget the dressing
For you can’t eat too much.
The dessert table is groaning with
Pies, cakes, and cookies galore.
Make sure to taste some of all
‘Till you can’t eat any more.
Exercise is good!
Walk from the couch to the door.
(That’s the door to the refrigerator
Where left-overs we will store.)
With friends and family
We bow heads, and we pray
With grateful hearts
For such a bountiful day.
But, the most thankful of all
Is that SKINNY turkey in the moonlight,
Who gobbles to all,
“A Happy Thanksgiving and Good Night!”
