A Thanksgiving Quickie

Turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashers and pie;

Smiling at your crazy relatives as the time slowly passes by.

Noticing lettuce in Aunt Sally's teeth;

Asking politely for a small slice of roast beef;

Debating whether to get another helping of green beans;

Knowing you won't be fitting in your favorite skinny jeans;

Listening to the same old stories you hear every year;

Subtly reaching for another cold beer;

Family gossip launches laughter;

Politicians get a bad rap;

Tryptophan making MommyQ sleepy;

It's time for a nap.
