THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving acrostic poetry

T ime lingers on our fingers as we gather for a lovely meal

H eads mesh & tumble as our tummys growl, 'oh what a thrill'

A las the bird is cooked and the side dishes perk up with heat

N othing can stop Uncle Sam as he runs and takes a seat

K itchen lights go out as Aunt Mable and Alice serve the grub

S ecretly I wonder if Uncle Johnny will snarl like a winter cub 

G reen beans, stuffing & cranberry sauce are my favorite treats

I  also like mash taters & gravy and sometimes some savory beets 

V arious desserts are displayed as we eat with vigor and speed 

I  wonder which pie will come in 1st as tryptophan takes the lead 

N egotiating the table can be hard for some of the family clan 

G ood food is a gastric wonder cus nothing comes out of a can
