Turkey Day Ops

You clean, you shop, you stir, you chop; You add marshmallows to the top. You cannot stop or all will flop; The doorbell rings – you smile and hop. The sweat you mop or oven prop; With guests, the anecdotes you swap. A drink you cop but dare not drop A morsel of your festive crop. From shop to chop to hop to mop, The day will pass – and then you’ll plop! *Happy Thanksgiving Day!

That about sums it up! Chop and Plop! (Maybe that'll replace "Stop and Shop," which I think you have out East, if I'm not mistaken). Great one, Ilene! :) gw
