Heres something my cousins friend wrote:

A THANKSGIVING POEM


TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING,

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 'N GRAVY

HAVE NARY A LUMP.

MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS.

MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE,

MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER STAY

OFF OF YOUR THIGHS.


MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING BE BLESSED!!

Excellent!

Thanks for sharing this Aphx. Your cousin's friend was obviously inspired.
I think it was meant to be read in the same cadence as "T'was The Night Before Christmas".
