Poem
Family gathers for Thanksgiving dinner As you step into grandma's home You smell the savory aromas Turkey is stuffed and cooking in the oven Glazed ham garnished with pineapple and cherries We’re getting very anxious for homemade buns to rise Table is decked with grandma’s fine china Table settings and white lace linen Fresh Thanksgiving Autumn floral bouquet, Candles flicker in-tall thin brass candleholders Salad, asparagus and cheese sauce, Mashed potatoes and gravy, Cranberry sauce, Cinnamon sweet potatoes garnished with marshmallows Ambrosia fruit salad, cherry and pumpkin pies Apple crisp with caramel sauce a prize Punch bowl filled to the brim With eggnog and hot cinnamon schnapps A second ham sits in the baking pan on the stove Of balance over the burner knobs Pa picks up the lid to take a peek Did a hip-hop back As it slides off the top of stove onto the floor Bathing everyone around with sweet greasy glaze For once I wish I had Rover and Max around to lap up the floor As they were locked up in their dog cage so they wouldn’t be underfoot Slipping and sliding and grabbing on to the counters I whispered Please dogs come and save us from this wet dirty job We dropped plenty of towels and got a mop and a bucket of suds To sup- up the entire sweet greasy glaze Finally the crazy mayhem was over Turned to face the table and held our composure Bless us, Oh Lord, and these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty, through Christ, Our Lord. Amen. Moaning and groaning too stuffed to move Rubbing their bellies that are just ready to bust Still enough food left over for everyone to take home 11/24/2016
