The travels are completed,
The weather has been toughed,
The family has gathered,
The turkey has been stuffed.
The candlelight is glowing,
The wine has all been poured,
A prayer of thanks is offered
For our blessings from our Lord.
The gravy boat is brimming,
At last the turkey's carved,
And just in time, we all agree,
For everyone is starved!
The clinking of the knives and forks
Replaces sounds of words,
Until the hostess offers forth
Some seconds...and then thirds
"I couldn't eat another bite!"
All of us reply
Just before we grab our forks...
For one more piece of pie.
Happy Thanksgiving!
