Happy Thanksgiving

May your turkey
Be sweet, tender and moist
I hope Grandma checked for buckshot and wad
And Grandpa didn't leave the snood
If you hear a putt, a cluck
And God forbid a gobble
Coming from the table
Maybe, just maybe
He needs a little more heat to be stable
If your turkey's plumage remains
In living metallic glitter iridescence
Reds, green, copper, bronze and gold
Maybe, just maybe
Your aim is not as good as you been told
If your turkey has been plucked, basted and cooked
Maybe, just maybe
This Thanksgiving your waistline can be over looked
Around your table no matter where you are
I hope there is much laughter and joy
And I hope, really hope
Your turkey doesn't turn out to be a decoy

Have a great Thanksgiving!
And don't forget to take a left over turkey sandwich to the water.
