We cook a festive dinner

And set a fancy table

Folks come from near and far

As many as are able.

Good food and pleasant chatter

Help us to celebrate Thanksgiving

But they are just a part

The real Thanksgiving for us all

Can only be found within our heart.

Thena Smith

Turkey Tragedy

It started out like an ordinary day

With kinfolks coming to visit and play

But before the dinner was on the table

To divert an incident, I was not able.

The platter was piled high with turkey and dressing

And hubby was offering the Thanksgiving blessing

When a terrible accident I could not avert

And we had to skip dinner and go right to desert!

I tripped on the dog

And out flew our dinner

So now after this holiday

We will all be much thinner.

I caused a world catastrophe

Of which I hate to speak

It was the downfall of Turkey

The breaking up of China

And the overflow of 'Grease!'

Thena
