‘Twas the night before Thanksgiving
And all through the house,
Everyone was rushing
Like a flock of scared grouse!
The pies were all baked
And the cheesecakes were finished,
The dressing was cooked –
Much baking prep diminished!
“The kitchen must be cleaned!
And the counters wiped down!
The rooms must be made
The tidiest in town!”
So the family went flying
Tripping over the dog,
Who imagined himself
A live, sleeping log.
A cat became terrified
When there arose a loud clatter –
That nothing would harm him
Didn’t seem to matter.
Finally the great turkeys –
And yes, there were two –
Were set on to cook –
It was the last thing to do.
Now the sleepy family,
It being midnight,
Were nearly ecstatic
To see bed in sight!
To the KING be all the glory!
Goodness! Two turkeys?! Well, I hope they turn out alright. :D And I don’t like the sound of that lazy dog. ;)
