HAPPY THANKSGIVING ;o)

[McLean <mclean@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To all my new friends, for which I am thankful, I would like to send this
to you:

                  A THANKSGIVING POEM

 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 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.

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