A WAHumorous World

'Twas the day after Thanksgiving, and all through the house,
Not a creature did much stirring, not even a mouse {because we don't have any
But our little pet rat was snoozing blissfully with a bellyful of turkey)

The leftovers were packed in the fridge way back in there,
We just couldn't bear to look at them, all of us here.

The children were nestled all snug on the couch,
Lost in their Game Boys, especially my little grouch.

Numbly did we stash the dishes, gravy boat and platter
Slower than before because we were fatter.

I reloaded the dishwasher that was so weary and sick
The poor thing had developed a mechanical tick.

Begone turkey and stuffing and yams! Go, squashes, green beans, cranberry sauce and hams!

Why do we each year go through this crap?
Time to resume that long winter's nap.
