T'was the Night of Thanksgiving

T'was 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

Six-Legged Turkey
An industrious turkey farmer was always experimenting with breeding to perfect a better turkey.

His family was fond of the leg portion for dinner and there were never enough legs for everyone. After many frustrating attempts, the farmer was relating the results of his efforts to his friends at the general store get together. "Well I finally did it! I bred
a turkey that has 6 legs!"

They all asked the farmer how it tasted.

"I Don't know" said the farmer. "I never could catch the darn thing!"
