Thanksgiving Eats By Franklin Price 11/11/2019 Thanksgiving time is coming Just a couple weeks away I will review the food for you On that diet ending day There's dressing for the turkey That we're carving from the top Mashing up some fresh potatoes Now is not the time to stop Add some giblet gravy Just a spoonful, maybe two Could have some mushrooms in it If they're just the thing for you Maybe have a pre-cooked ham With a fancy spiral cut Or purchase one to bake yourself A shoulder or a butt Marshmallow sweet potatoes Cranberry sauce, if so inclined A glass or two of Chardonnay And you'll know that you have dined It's okay to take a break When main courses are done And gossip 'bout the family Always Thanksgiving fun Won't take long to catch up Just when the tales are getting good The desserts are on the table Looking better than they should Looks like there's nanner puddin' Some cake, and many pies You may find your stretched out stomach Was not as big as were your eyes I know I haven't covered all That might be on your table I'm so full with what I've written That I'm just no longer able
