Thanksgiving Blitz Part I

T'was the day of Thanksgiving, All was nice and set; We never had a clue, As to what we would get! Clara soaked her dentures, There, at our table; Pete sat in the rocker, And began to watch cable The aroma of turkey, Seeped through our door; Stirring up bellies, Like never before Those who were family, Invited their friends; Our mother was gracious, And kindly let them in With elbows on the table, No one cared to pray; We were destined for trouble, Upon that very day The turkey was gobbled, Cranberry stuffing too; Pumpkin pies were missing, What on earth did we do?! Football on the flat screen, They were packed in our den; Where's the resemblence? They don't look like my kin! Grandpa's on the sofa, Bless his weary heart; GREAT GOSH ALMIGHTY!! He just ripped a fart! Papa was fuming, He began to shed a tear; One of those mongrels, Drank up his beer! Kissin' and huggin', Beyond the bathroom door; Folks were gettin' busy, On the tile of our floor! Continued in Part II...
