A Thanksgiving Poem

I love Thanksgiving dinner
With a turkey brown and plump
I love the mashed potatoes
and gravy without lumps
I love cranberry jelly
and the green bean casserole
I love the muffins, cornbread stuffin',
and Granny's cinnamon rolls.
We pile the food upon our plates
and polish off the pile
We eat and eat each savory treat
like food's going out of style.
And then when it seems over
the battle nearly won
They bring in two desserts to choose
twixt pumpkin or pecan.
Each year it just gets better
but the thing that just astounds:
It seems unfair that just one meal
can add on 15 pounds!
