Twas the night before Thanksgiving
And
anticipations were high,
For there's a feast to prepare
Complete with
spiced pumpkin pie!
The casseroles were all set to arrive
With aunts
and with cousins and all who would drive
From states far away or fly in from
school,
All ready to buy into the big football pool.
The leaves for the table were all put in
their place
With napkins and runners, ironed linen and lace;
The
centerpiece glistened with ripe polished fruit
And eggnog awaited - with
brandy to boot!!
Stuffing and gravy, red cranberry
sauce
And other dishes from recipes lost,
All handed down from generations
past,
Have been reinvented from Thanksgiving last.
Though it's only a
day, maybe it can last for two...
For tomorrow we'll all have warm turkey
stew.
So, we're sending our blessings from this house to you
For a Happy
Thanksgiving and great leftovers too!
