Smell the cooking
Feel the love
Serve that Turkey
Please do not shove.
Table settings
Chairs are placed
All are seated
And saying grace.
One heaping
No make it two
No one’s watching
What I do.
Pushing back
The kitchen chair
Can barely stand
I need some air.
What a dinner
Too much food
I promise for next year
I will be good.
One month later
I’m sitting here
Christmas dinner
Presents and cheer.
New Years over
I look at the scale
Good lord, I did it
A look of whales.
11 months of
lifting weights
Now I’m ready
For Thanksgiving day.
Written from my heart,
Terry Shepherd
