Anniversary Reflection

We married on this date, though then It was Thanksgiving Day. The meal, of course, was turkey With all trimmings on display. The family flocked together To observe us say “I do,” Though with the traffic, it’s amazing Everyone got through. So what’s the date to celebrate? It is a bit confusing. The holiday itself seems like The day we should be choosing. ‘Cause each year on Thanksgiving, I remember when we wed And I wish we’d chosen any other Day for that instead. Yet tonight we’ll go to dinner And reflect on our mistake, Forcing folks to sacrifice the pies To eat our wedding cake.
