Very soon, thankful Thanksgiving treasure trove will be;
Tables heavily laden, tasty gravy, giblets, gourds galore!
A happy time, family, friends, feasting folks you’ve been waiting to see;
Good will abounds; sounds of music, merriment, multitudes more.
Being thankful today, for everything, everyone, earth’s essence;
Gratitude abounds at table, plates, platters, pumpkins, prayers.
Even strangers meet; wanderers, wayfaring, weary welcomed presence.
Food enough for all; sharing, succulent, sustaining, substances in layers.
Sharing joyous times, happy, harmonious, hilarious holiday.
Soon the main event, traditional, tasteful, tempting turkey!
Well prepared and dressed, luscious, lustful, levity, loving day.
A turkey honored; adored, acclaimed, admired, aspiring to be.
Surrounded by adornments; stuffing, squash, sweets, sugar beets!
Something for everyone; turnip, peas, potatoes, pumpkin pie.
To top everything, gravy, gilded, gracious gustatory treat!
A fit meal for all; consumed, crafted, connoisseur’s cry.
The meal finished, desserts desired deliriously devoured.
Belts loosened, tables emptied revelers relax, roost, repose.
The after-party begins; gathering, gaiety, games, garnishments adored.
For some a time to nap; couches, clandestine, comfort, calling those.
For others a movie; happy, heartwarming, helpful, heroic.
A brave few chance karaoke; songs, simulated, sung, synchronous warble.
Laughter abounds today; caring, caressing, cooking, clustering not stoic.
A world at peace; thankful, tearful, tumultuous, tender as a turkey gobble!
