~*~*HAPPY 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 IN 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 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 AND GRAVY HAVE NARY A LUMP.
MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS, MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE -
MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER STAY OFF YOUR THIGHS!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING (Irene @ New England Textile Association)

What a hoot!!
By the way, I decided to have 4 winners for the contest you and are one of the four. Quick, go see my blog to see what you've won!
Cute poem! Congrats on winning the SP contest! You have a SP package on the way to you, so be watching the mail!
Your SP.
WHat a fun poem! Thanks for stopping at my blog! CAn wait to see what other projects you have in the works!
LOL!! Hope you had a good one!
Love the poem and the picture. Good luck on the job search. Most of us spend too much time at the office to work in a place we don't like. The stress is not worth it. Keep us posted.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and thanks for the encouraging words about the SP. It's too late now, perhaps next time. I, unfortunately, was the victim of one too many mixups so I thought it was just best to bail. Too bad we weren't paired up. Stop by again. P.S. Love the Ballband - I just found the MD book and love it!
