Gluttony

Thanksgiving meal has come, A big feast for the tum, But not so good for the waist. Each eager guest hovers, Hungry, turkey lovers Cannot wait for that first taste. Each child and each duffer, Tomorrow will suffer That to the table they raced. Some folks lose their reason In holiday season. They pig out until disgraced. For Dr. Mehta's contest

Joyce, I love your entry for his contest. Probably my favorite of all the ones I've seen. You made the rhyming seem so natural and not forced. It sure is a day of gluttony. the first day in a long time that I have gone over my calorie count!!
