I Ate Too Much .... Leftovers

Kerst had a cute poetry reading just before Thanksgiving with his class at school.

Here are a couple of my favorites (Kerst participated in the first one).

I Ate Too Much

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',
I'm probably going to die

I piled up my plate
and I ate and 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 a bit more.

Leftovers

Thanksgiving has been over
for at least a week or two,
but we're still all eating turkey,
turkey salad, turkey stew,
turkey puffs and turkey pudding,
turkey patties, turkey pies,
turkey bisque and turkey burgers,
turkey fritters, turkey fries.

For lunch our mother made us
turkey slices on a stick,
there'll be turkey tarts for supper
all this turkey makes me sick.

For tomorrow she's preparing
turkey dumplings stuffed with peas,
Oh I never thought I'd say this,
"MOTHER! NO MORE TURKEY .... PLEASE!"
