A Funny and Thoughtful Thanksgiving Poem
It's time to show this food some lovin'
The head of the table tells everyone bow to say "grace"
Then to get back to football, the men shovel in food like a race
Turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes
Biscuits, mac and cheese, stewed tomatoes
Green beans, corn, and pumpkin pie
Oh so much food, that afterward, you want to curl up and die
Mom asks if anyone wants another go 'round
Moans and groans of death by food are the sounds
This Thanksgiving poem is intended to make you think
About not taking for granted all the things we have to eat and drink
So when you're around the table on Thanksgiving Day
Think of those who are less fortunate, and for them, please pray

AWWWW loved it!!!!!! Good job. Best one I have read so far!
At least yours was really about Thanksgiving. My poem was kind of Obama-centric. Hehe. Besides, you kick Dr. Suess' butt.
