Darlene De Beaulieu Poet Free verse

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
