Anxiety's Pull

When hosting on Thanksgiving Day, I worry there won’t be enough For it’s the American way, On holidays, to overstuff. If I were alone with my spouse, We’d eat a few bites and be full But when there are guests in our house, I give in to anxiety’s pull. Should I run to buy more at the store Or stop fretting and try to relax? It won’t be many hours before All the company will have made tracks. What’s the worst that can happen, I think – There’ll be talk that we needed more food But perhaps with a bit more to drink We’ll all be in that holiday mood.
