For the room is suffused with quiet and calm
My belt buckle’s bursting because of the strain
While truckloads of tryptophan run through my veins
I will now go to sleep with my plate on my lap.
Good Thanksgiving to all, and to all a good nap.

Til’ no one could eat, not the tiniest crumb.
I’m still tasting dinner, and I say this although
We finished not quite fifteen minutes ago.
The family now shuffles off towards the couch
Their once-proud demeanor, now but a slouch.

And lest we forget, I made fresh pumpkin pie.
Put ice cream and cool whip on top of your slice
One sliver of chocolate cake makes it nice.
If you won’t take a whole piece, then just have a taste
If you don’t eat it now, it’ll just go to waste.”

Awaiting the kickoff of Lions v Bears.
My stomach was barely contained in my shirt
When grandma came out and said “Time for dessert!”
“Eat Cherry, Eat Apple, Eat Rhubarb and Peach
Have crumb cake, have strudel, have two slices each

Such wonderful tastes, you could not pick the best.
Great string beans, potatoes, and cranberry sauce
The stuffing alone drew three rounds of applause.
We ate wondrous food that exceeded our wishes
Til' nothing was left save for cleaning the dishes.

And said to us simply, just “Dinner is Served”
But mom never stayed with the crowd making merry
But zipped back to the kitchen to get drunk on sherry.
The food piled high now engulfing each plate
We took a last breath and then, brother, we ate

Every year cousin Dave brings us honey-baked hams.
Grandma came armed with her Jell-O with fruit,
Don’t ask what is in it, the question is moot.
These relatives came with their dishes to share
Each one covered in foil or in green tupperware.

Though all of them were at least thirty years old.
Then relatives streaming in all through the door.
Great Aunts, second cousins we’d not seen before.
Plus uncles and friends and a neighbor named “Fish”
And under each arm was a holiday dish.
