Cat Previews Thanksgiving Foods

I decided to get a preview of the Thanksgiving leftovers.
Anticipating the humans suffering from day-after-hangovers. 

Lucky for me, someone left the frig open a crack.
I slid in there and laid down under the largest full rack.

I started on the pie, it was super delicious of course.
Save some for me yelled a voice; it sounded like a miniature Norse.

stuffing smells delicious, if there is one spice I love it is sage.
I could pig out here forever. I’ve been here an hour, I’d gauge.

The door opened slowly, and I tumbled onto the floor. 
The cook in the kitchen was so angry, I got kicked out the door. 

I did not care, because in each of my fists was a drumstick so round.
My fat bottom saved me as I landed squarely on November’s ground.

I’ll be back next year! I yelled to my neighbor Mrs. McFur. 
She was on the phone to my mother, complaining, I am sure.
