Contemplating Thanksgiving.
It wasn't up to par. No Turkey notes for the first time ever! One of my favorite people in the world, an aunt, had just died of COVID.
I know she would appreciate the following.
Nightmare Before Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving arrived
Exhausted I wined-
Drank glass after glass
On chocolate I dined
Impending butt stuffing
YES! It's a thing!
Potato fluff fluffing
For family gorging
Eyes sparkled, then glazed
It must be the drink
Golden popovers fall
Turkey meat still pink
Close eyes, breath deep
The dining room turns
Grab cloth covered table
Hot spilled gravy burns
Green beans limp as noodles
Bright color now bland
A loud gasp is heard
When I pull out canned
Three pies not enough
Where's the whip cream
Cranberries boil over
It was all a bad dream
