Wishbone Wish

The turkey this year was so great,
the wishbone lay there on the plate.
I won the big part
and wished from my heart;
“Please, grandad, don’t start a debate!”

He didn’t hear me, I am guessing;
said, “is it stuffing or dressing?”
We fed him with wine,
which made him supine;
that, was our Thanksgiving blessing!

I'm guessing a tipsy granddad equals a quieter granddad? It's all good
