The Twelve Days of Thanksgiving
Author: Unknown
On the First Day
We give thanks for the fresh turkey feast
and its hot trimmings.
On the Second Day
We bless the cold turkey sandwiches,
sloshy cranberry sauce, and hard rolls.
On the Third Day
We praise the turkey pie and vintage mixed
veggies.
On the Fourth Day
We thank the pilgrims for not serving
bison that first time, or we'd be celebrating Thanksgiving until
April.
On the Fifth Day
We gobble up cubed bird casserole and pray
for a glimpse of naked turkey carcass.
On the Sixth Day
We show gratitude (sort of) to the creative
cook who slings cashews at the turkey and calls it Oriental.
On the Seventh Day
We forgive our forefathers and pass the
turkey-nugget pizza.
On the Eighth Day
The word ''vegetarian'' keeps popping into
our heads.
On the Ninth Day
We check our hair to make sure we're not
beginning to sprout feathers.
On the Tenth Day
We hope that the wing meat kabobs catch
fire under the broiler.
On the Eleventh Day
We smile over the creamed gizzard
because the thigh bones are in sight.
On the Twelfth Day
We apologize for running out of turkey
leftovers. And everybody says Amen.
