- Thanksgiving Wish
-
-
- Sit down to your plates of bird
- Take those massive bites absurd
- Rip apart bone, sinew, flesh
- Lick and slurp as limbs unmesh
- Shovel it down into your gullets
- (After all, you emptied wallets)
- Masticate those gravy giblets
- Liver chunks and kidney niblets
- Grind away at drumstick, breast
- Put those enzymes to the test
- Push that belly past belt-line
- Double that chin and puff that hind
- Heap your stuffing hillocks high
- Add more cheese to cottage thighs
- Chew that ham and beef and mutton
- Split those seams and burst those buttons
- Fill a glass and raise a toast
- "To cellulite and adipose!"
- Eat and eat and eat and eat, of
- Burned and stewed and seared dead meat
- Chomp and grunt and gurgle and gulp
- No fizzy gut relief will help
- Stuff your face and swill Chablis
- ("It was so cheap, it's almost free!")
- With family and your friends, palaver
- As you dissect that bird cadaver
- Yack and yack, then time to snooze
- On Grandma's couch, to process booze
- Reunite your feuding relatives
- Hope repast will act as palliatives
- Tell your bro-in-law to pack
- Sneer at Sis behind her back
- For Ma-in-law, a dirty joke
- While wishing her on yam to choke
- Kiss wifey-poo on plumping cheek
- While neighbor's rear your eyeballs seek
- And if your guts begin to rumble
- Into the bathroom you may stumble
- To make some room for pie of pumpkin
- As only a hefty, hearty dump can!
- It's Thanksglutton, er, giving
- Time to exalt eating, er, living
- A time to show appreciation
- For all the stuff in this great nation
- And what better way is there to do it
- Than build upon American suet?
