Some Thanksgiving observations by Jack Prelutsky, the 1st Children’s Poet Laureate of the Poetry Foundation:
I ate too much turkey.
I ate too much corn.
I ate too much pudding and pie.
I'm stuffed up with muffins
and much too much stuffin'.
Ate all of the food I did buy.
I piled my plate
and I ate and I ate,
but I wish I had known when to stop.
For I'm so crammed with yams,
sauces, gravies, and jams
that my buttons are starting to pop.
I'm full of tomatoes
and French fried potatoes,
my stomach is swollen and sore.
But there's still some dessert,
so I guess it won't hurt
if I eat just a little bit more.
As we pause at Thanksgiving to offer quiet thanks for the blessings in our own lives, and as you enjoy your own celebrations, we hope that gratitude fills every heart around your table. And all of us at Brand Keys wish you and yours a Thanksgiving filled with all the delights and goodness of the season.
