Cornucopia

CORNUCOPIA 

Let's eat sweets complete
Thanksgiving pies, yum! fruits, nuts, cakes
Unloose belts eats, more. . . .

S-some
W-watch
E-everyone full
E-everywhere-
T-talks

P-people
O-ordinary
T-truly
A-angry
T-towards
O-oppositions

P-principles
I-ingesting all edibles
E-everything
As I rise from the table
I enable
Myself I stretch and scratch and yawn
Think I ate too much food, (sleepy now)
This cornucopia is a horrible disease
Makes me over eat and sneeze
All manner of improper eating we be
Eating the fat of the chicken and lamb
Every holiday seasons
The turkey and ham
Full of sodium gravy
Cornbread, rye breads and maybe
My stomach won't hurt
If I didn't over eat so much, meats and sweets
And my throat won't choke
by the fine bones of the turkey
And every holiday, it's the same old thing
I eat, I eat, eat just over eat
Man Oh! man love me them sweets
Thanksgiving a turkey, Christmas a turkey
It beginning to think that God is a turkey
The way we eat this foul
But I wouldn't blaspheme His name now
Could someone pass me the string beans
This cornucopia sickness here again
I've gain 15 pounds just sitting here
