The Thanksgiving Meal

The turkey in the oven In the early afternoon Getting hungry now Mashed potatoes, carrots Put out the cranberry sauce On the dinning room table Time to check the turkey Disappointed, uncooked Wait a few hours It is still uncooked So we had the cooked stuff With the stuffing mix When the turkey was ready Our stomachs were full Homemade cherry cake Was the finishing touch Our meal was not so bad Turkey served the next day

This is an excellent post and poem, my brother of God's grace, Darlene. I love the flow of the words and the impact of the message. The descriptive excellence is lovely. The theme great, and tenor move the piece along with much grace. Am I invited to the table? Great job! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53812816-sincerely-speaking-spiritually.
