[CC-ARES-RACES] Happy Thanksgiving!

[Tom Abernethy - W3TOM]

A THANKSGIVING POEM...
=A0
TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING, BUT I JUST COULDN'T SLEEP. I TRIED
COUNTING BACKWARDS, I TRIED COUNTING SHEEP.
=A0
THE LEFTOVERS BECKONED - THE DARK MEAT AND WHITE, BUT I FOUGHT THE
TEMPTATION WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT.
=A0
TOSSING AND TURNING WITH ANTICIPATION, THE THOUGHT OF A SNACK BECAME
INFATUATION.
=A0
SO, I RACED TO THE KITCHEN, FLUNG OPEN THE DOOR AND GAZED AT THE FRIDGE,
FULL OF GOODIES GALORE.
=A0
I GOBBLED UP TURKEY AND BUTTERED POTATOES, PICKLES AND CARROTS, BEANS
AND TOMATOES.
=A0
I FELT MYSELF SWELLING SO PLUMP AND SO ROUND, 'TIL ALL OF A SUDDEN,=A0 I
ROSE OFF THE GROUND.
=A0
I CRASHED THROUGH THE CEILING, FLOATING INTO THE SKY WITH A MOUTHFUL OF
PUDDING AND A HANDFUL OF PIE.
=A0
BUT, I MANAGED TO YELL AS I SOARED PAST THE TREES.... HAPPY EATING TO
ALL - PASS THE CRANBERRIES, PLEASE.

MAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY, MAY YOUR TURKEY BE PLUMP. MAY YOUR POTATOES
'N GRAVY HAVE NARY A LUMP, MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS, MAY YOUR PIES
TAKE THE PRIZE, MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER STAY OFF OF YOUR THIGHS.

A very Happy & Safe Thanksgiving to all!!
