'TWAS THE NIGHT AFTER 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 WITH 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.

GOBBLED UP TURKEY AND BUTTERED POTATOES,
PICKLES AND CARROTS, BEANS AND TOMATOES.

I FELT MYSELF SWELLING SO PLUMP AND SO ROUND,
'TIL 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 'N GRAVY HAVE NARY A LUMP,
MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS, MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE,
MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER STAY OFF OF YOUR THIGHS.


Happy Thanksgiving


Joel

Yum!!!!!

With the help of <a href=http://www.toadsoft.com>toad</a>*
here is a quieter version

'twas the night after 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 with 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.

gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,
pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.

i felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
'til 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 'n gravy have nary a lump,
may your yams be delicious, may your pies take the prize,
may your thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs.

Great poem Joel. Man I want turkey.
(Byock's safe this round)

Our thanksgiving was last month, damn. Why do people usually only do Turkey on Thanksgiving and Christmas?


edit: I forgot. Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving all you American types.

I like Thanksgiving because it means a relatively quiet day on the USD front... still lots of EUR and GBP to worry about though..

Happy Thanksgiving folks! (isn't it tomorrow though?)
