Stuffed

Of course I didn’t quit, Although my appetite was snuffed. I had to sample everything Until my gut was stuffed. The hostess said she’d made a lot – We knew she wasn’t bluffing – For there was such variety Beyond the bird and stuffing. Since every dish was yummy, Just one bite was not enough; And so into our eager mouths That food we had to stuff. Today there is a price to pay – My stomach’s looking puffed; But on Thanksgiving Day, I can’t Prevent becoming stuffed!

Yes, Thanksgiving is no diet day/ I had plenty of turkey among other things. Amusing work! Peace & Love Matthew Anish
