Thanksgiving Poem
'TWAS LOVELY.'
(Apres Thanksgiving Dinner)
I was up at four, the day before
To cook the mushrooms and
cranberries and
Celery and onions for the stuf­fing;
To make a list, long by a mile
Of all the things you needed,
while
You got ready for the»feasting.
Then Mike and Joan forgot them
home,
But never mind - 'twas lovely?
As the big day dawned
Pop hacked and yawned,
But by and large was willing,
To pack the car with bags and
jars
Of mushrooms and cranberries
and
Celery and onions for the stuf­fing:
With roasted nuts and plump
chestnuts
And milk and eggs and
. Pea,rs and oranges and apples;
The cutting board and turkey
platter
And lots more of thisa and thats.
But never mind - 'twas
lovely-
For Baby Sue we had some
mittens
And a photograph of the little
kitten.
For her mom and dad some silver
- sterling
To celebrate a second yearling,
All prettied up with ribbons and
bows - 'twas lovelyf
Finally, we closed the gate
And left 556 at eight
To start upon our journey.
Over the river and through the
woods
(and parkways and thruways and
bridges).
But Pop was happy as we sped
along
And full of smiles, as we clocked
the miles.
He let out a whoop as we made
the loop
On the route from Binghamton to
Vestal - 'twas lovely still.
We pulled up the car, and
unloaded the jars
Of mushrooms and cranberries
and
Celery and onions for the stuf­fing;
With roasted nuts and plump
chestnuts
And milk and eggs and
Pears and oranges and apples;
The cutting board and turkey
platter
And lots more of thisa and
thata.
We cluttered the kitchen and
living room too,
But never mind - 'twas lovely;
A hug for the baby, a quick kiss or
two and
We rolled up our sleeves - what
more left to do?
Potatoes to peel and turnips to
slice,
We chatted and laughed - Joanna,
it was nice.

To Joan and Michael on pledging

We gave our thank<and asked for
blessing.
As Briap proceeded to tackle the

And have you heard, the latest

(Ask what happened to the

The gravy was made by our

<fy We,"a'tc, and ale, and then some
more • • ^
With coffee and pie and desserts
galore.
Now we were stuffed - but never
mind - 'twas lovely.'
And the piece de resistance
throughout the day
Was not the turkey or stuffing, or
all the rest:
But a mite of a baby called Susan
Marie
Who sat there enjoying and being
enjoyed
By grandmas and grandpas and
uncles and aunts,
To say nothing of the young,
proud parents.
Ah. - 'twas lovely. - 'twas lovely.'
'twas lovely.'
