‘Twas the night before Thanksgiving,
And all through the kitchen . . .
Family members are stirring,
Many willing to pitch in . . .
The noodles were made with loving care,
Knowing our loved ones would soon be here . . .
The pie crusts are rolled and baked is the bread,
The vision of pumpkin pie with extra whipped cream lives in my head . . .
Lucky for us, Bob’s got the day off from Knap,
We know we’ll celebrate with a little nightcap. . .
So much turkey, all piled on a platter,
If you don’t eat enough, mom will ask, “what’s the matter?” . . .
We may head out to a Thanksgiving bash,
First things first— there’s potatoes to mash . . .
Fill the pies, punch down the dough,
Here come the guests, we’re ready for the show . . .
We are so glad you’re here for another great year,
Before you sit down, could you grab me a beer?
The turkey is out — wow, what a big chick!
Eat now, friends— it’ll get cold quick!
Now bellies are full— you’re feeling a little shame,
No worries— unbutton your pants, and turn on the game!
All have eaten, the leftovers are dished,
Those select few adults are getting kinda blitzed.
What a great way to spend this day in fall!
With the family— sure love seeing them all . . .
Friendship - family - food,
Sure to put us in the greatest mood . . .
Everything will happen just right,
Happy Thanksgiving to all, and to all, a good (safe) night!
💚💙 — Niki
