Is back again,
And that can only mean
One thing…
You must give in
To the deepest,
Darkest,
Highest caloric
Desires of your belly.
Sure, this holiday
Is about gratitude.
I mean,
It’s right there
In the name,
Captain Obvious.
But sometimes,
You have to think
Outside the box,
And since it is
Thanksgiving,
That box to which
I just referred
Is obviously
The most
Important one
Of all…
The one
That contains
The stuffing mix.
On paper,
This Thursday
Is all about
Giving thanks,
But in reality,
It’s all about
The food.
Go feed yourself,
Pilgrim.
Make sure
That turkey
Did not die
In vain.
Let the gravy flow
Like a magic
Brown river
You only get
To swim in
Once a year.
Cranberry sauce
For everyone…
Even the relatives
You’re embarrassed
To acknowledge
In public.
And don’t even
Get me started
On the stuffing.
Just put that
Damn bowl
Next to me.
The stuffing
Should never
Be beyond
Arm’s reach
Unless you want
This dinner
To dissolve
Into a food fight.
I say this
With the warmest,
Most loving
Intent…
Go stuff yourself!
It’s Thanksgiving.
Feed your face,
Pad your tummy,
But make sure
You save room
For dessert.
Apple pie?
Yes, please.
I’m ready to
Go stuff myself.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving Austin.
Hugs
Thanks, David!

Well, I don’t observe Thanksgiving or any other ‘holidays’ anymore… for a very personal reason. But, I recall the table overflowing with the wonderful food, and the warmth of all the family and friends gathered around. Yes, they were ‘Good Times’…. perhaps, too good.
Don’t over indulge tomorrow. Save some for leftovers later in the week. A turkey sandwich with the Saturday afternoon football games can be a very good thing.
Cherish those with whom you’ll be gathering tomorrow.
I will cherish the leftovers as well. 🙂
