Net Miles Of Smiles

The 12 Days Of Thanksgiving

On the First Day…..

We give thanks for the fresh turkey feast

And its hot trimmings.

. . .

On the Second Day…..

We bless the cold turkey sandwiches,

Sloshy cranberry sauce, and hard rolls.

. . .

On the Third Day…..

We praise the turkey pie

and vintage mixed veggies.

. . .

On the Fourth Day…..

We thank the pilgrims for not serving bison

that first time, or we’d be celebrating

Thanksgiving until April.

. . .

On the Fifth Day…..

We gobble up cubed bird casserole and

Pray for a glimpse of naked turkey carcass.

. . .

On the Sixth Day…..

We show gratitude (sort of) to the creative cook

Who slings cashews at the turkey and calls it Oriental.

. . .

On the Seventh Day…..

We forgive our forefathers and pass

the turkey-nugget pizza.

. . .

On the Eighth Day…..

The word ”vegetarian” keeps popping into our heads.

. . .

On the Ninth Day…..

We check our hair to make sure we’re not

Beginning to sprout feathers.

. . .

On the Tenth Day…..

We hope that the wing meat kabobs

Catch fire under the broiler.

. . .

On the Eleventh Day…..

We smile over the creamed gizzard because

the thigh bones are in sight.

. . .

On the Twelfth Day…..

We apologize for running out of turkey leftovers.

And everybody says Amen.
