BUT I JUST COULDN'T SLEEP,
I TRIED COUNTING BACKWARDS,
I TRIED COUNTING SHEEP.
THE LEFTOVERS BECKONED-
THE DARK MEAT AND WHITE,
BUT I FOUGHT THE TEMPTATION
WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT.
TOSSING AND TURNING WITH ANTICIPATION,
THE THOUGHT OF A SNACK BECAME INFATUATION,
SO, I RACED TO THE KITCHEN, FLUNG OPEN THE DOOR,
AND GAZED AT THE FRIDGE, FULL OF GOODIES GALORE.
GOBBLED UP TURKEY AND BUTTERED POTATOES,
PICKLES AND CARROTS, BEANS AND TOMATOES.
I FELT MYSELF SWELLING SO PLUMP AND SO ROUND,
'TIL ALL OF A SUDDEN, I ROSE OFF THE GROUND.
I CRASHED THROUGH THE CEILING, FLOATING INTO THE SKY,
WITH A MOUTHFUL OF PUDDING AND A HANDFUL OF PIE,
BUT, I MANAGED TO YELL AS I SOARED PAST THE TREES...
HAPPY EATING TO ALL~PASS THE CRANBERRIES, PLEASE
MAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY,
MAY YOUR TURKEY BE PLUMP.
MAY YOUR POTATOES 'NARY A LUMP.
MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS
MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE,
MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER STAY OFF OF YOUR THIGHS!!!
HAPPY THANSGIVING TO ALL

Report AbuseThanks girlfriend, I only had a small plate and tried a teaspoon of almost everything. The desserts, mashed potatoes, gravy, and cranberry-jello & pineapple dish I didn't bother. I can't stand cranberries. And tomorrow I'm baking a birthday cake for my daughter and need to go get frosting at Wal-Mart. Thought I'd walk an ex lap around the store for exercise. I'm almost sure around that store has to be close to a mile!

Report AbuseI am glad you didn't over indulge. I tend to do that and now I am paying for it. That is sweet that you are baking a cake for your daughter. I hope you all had a nice birthday celebration.

Report AbuseIN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION POSTED AT MY POEM "Thanksgiving":
Posted by PoetWithCancer 8 minutes ago
Dear Craftyadyinor,
My holistic physician does not want me to use either processed sugar or sugar substitutes, except something called Stevia. I can use honey, which I like--when I can get it (I have it at home, but a surprising number of restaurants and bars don't have it). I am also allowed to use Turbinado sugar, a form of raw sugar--but it takes so much of it for me to taste sweetness, I just don't use it.
I do not drink alcoholic beverages. I go to karaoke bars only. While there, I drink a little coffee if it is available. Mostly at the bars, I drink water with the juice of a lemon wedge squeezed and stirred in it. A teaspoon or so of honey makes that drink perfect for me. But bars don't usually have honey. If I can find honey at a supermarket in packets, I'll start bringing my own.
Bye now.

Report AbuseDear Craftyladyinor,
I've tried several times to leave you a message on your "Before Christmas" blog, but "something is rotten in the State of Shine"--I know not what, but there it is, I could not find the "leave your ocmment box" no matter how many times I sought it.
So here I am.
Merry Christmas to you--a multi-talented lady, with a heart as big as the sky. Thank you for all your many messages of wit, humor, and inspiration. Thank you for all your personal messages, so deep with love and concern, and showing that you are a full-fledged human being.
How many times I have felt like a condemned man; and then one of your Instant Messages popped up, and then we were chatting, and soon the executioner's face was well hidden.
How many times have I felt like a ghost about to vanish away, when one of your IMs was suddenly there; and before I knew it, you had made me feel whole and human and alive again. If gratitude were gold, then you would dwarf Fort Knox with all the gratitude I give to you.
Merry Christmas, LadyInor.
Love,
--M.L.P.
