As we're gathered here Thanksgiving Day, Special time spent with family and friends, The bird is just part of the feast; From the kitchen nice smells emanate. What's a turkey without stuffing too? When you all have had seconds to eat, At last, when the guests had their fill, 'Tis almost Thanksgiving again, We spent a small fortune on food, Oh, eating is my favorite thing My number dear I thought you knew, The grandmother said with a jeer, A gentleman and his pet puffin I came to this land of the free, Thanksgiving's a bountiful treat, May the turkeys be all stuffed with dressing; Thanksgiving, the U.S. has thanked November, November, November, Amid all the joy, something lurky; When there's no thought of gift giving, This thanksgiving we're wishing you two The jaunty plump bird chanced a look Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims' first feast, On maize and zucchini they dined, This was Thanksgiving weekend We sit and watch each football game, I don't think it's fair that the Yanks We Brits do it but twice a year, At Thanksgiving time every fall, If offered my heart to Celeste, There once was a nice Valentine, Red for the rose and blue for the violet, I searched out the cards that I got Some Valentine cards I shall buy, A friend that I know in Hoboken, Of Valentines day, rants Michelle, Said Jane, "Oh, it's Valentine's Day. To my crush on Valentine's day, So search if you will, for the man A newlywed husband named Bart On Valentine's Day, here's a note: A problem long under the sun As Valentine's day approaches, Venus, not Eros, you see, This Valentine thing makes me sick; Your girlfriend is balking, and still you Whenever I see Valentines My girl has turned into a Miss. On Valentine's day, give her flowers, A Val's Day spent solo, I'll tell ya, Happy Valentine's Day to the one, Things in Bethlehem got in a whirl, To the Christmas Tree Fairy, Doc Titus, On Christmas Day, all that I heard These heavy verses need luggers, Christmas bells clang in my ear. They're decking the bulkheads and hulls. The night before Christmas, it was.

You are terribly wise, I thought you were well in your box, I replaced the last Christmas tree ball,
We humbly bow our heads to pray,
Thank the Lord for this food,
And what's happened that's good.
We are more grateful than we can say.

Size of turkey depends who attends;
Hail our Thanksgiving Day,
The American way,
So much eating and food never ends.
--- Joel D Ash P0411
Every dish from a victuals artiste;
Such luscious hors d'oeuvres,
And despite what one serves,
Appetites not decreased in the least.
--- Joel D Ash P0411
Where's the turkey? The guests cannot wait;
When the platter arrives,
Unrestrained forks and knives,
Every side dish looks good and tastes great.
--- Joel D Ash P0411
Browned and moist for a perfect debut;
Peas and carrots still steaming,
Mouth watering dreaming,
Sweet yams making everyone "oooh."
--- Joel D Ash P0411
The desserts still a real ending treat;
Choice of multiple pies,
Chocolate cake that draws sighs,
Nuts and candies and tidbits replete.
--- Joel D Ash P0411
There is one thing again to do still;
It's a most crucial part,
Giving thanks from the heart,
For the joys of your life and goodwill.
--- Joel D Ash P0411
But the event is becoming a pain.
People expect an invite,
Or you're not too polite;
But for me there's nothing to gain.
--- Anon
And I don't want to sound like I'm rude,
But they party all night,
And there's often a fight,
Which for me, really spoils the mood.
--- Anon
I think of the joy it does bring
A dish with a slice
Of pi would be nice
What's your number? I'll give you a ring!
--- Anon
Since last year I gave it to you.
But if it got lost,
Please let me emboss,
It on your cock like a tattoo.
--- Anon
"Thanksgiving is lovely my dears.
As I look and I see
All of you around me,
I am thankful, it's just once a year."
--- Keith Gilman P0111
Ate a turkey with all of the stuffin'.
They went for a walk.
And enjoyed their talk,
And finished their meal with a muffin.
--- Vincent Torre P0207
From terror and famine did flee.
Now this feeling of dread;
I might soon be dead --
It's Thanksgiving - please don't pick me!
--- Anon
With our diners so full and complete;
Devour the fare,
But remember a prayer,
For those who have nothing to eat.
--- Cap'n Bean P0311
May the jerks become jerky, a blessing.
May the duds be the milk ones; (Milk Duds - US candy)
And those cross become hot buns.
For one/two-a-penny, that's refreshing.
--- Hilde na Beag
In time honored ways SACROSANCT;
For family and friends,
A time for amends,
With love of all most highly ranked.

A time to give thanks and remember,
Unless you're the tom
That the meat's taken from,
Then, too early, you've reached your December!

As sad little thought very murky.
Though we've all done well,
Today has been hell,
For many a fine-feathered turkey.

Just fellowship and good living,
Family and friend
To gathering lend
Good will, good eats for Thanksgiving.

A bountiful feast with a crew
Of your friends and your kin
And plenty of gin.
It's a day meant for turkeys like you.

To see if he'd outfoxed the cook.
But alas and alack,
He's now on his back;
'Twas the door to the kitchen he took.
--- Frank Fazed
In the frigid and nasty Northeast;
They were warmly dressed,
Though I would have guessed,
The Indians were wearing their least.
--- Chris Papa A
Table manners were not too refined;
they ate turkey with fingers,
And pumpkin pie bringers
Were left in a terrible bind.
--- Chris Papa
When Americans go 'round the bend,
Stuffing our faces
And looking for traces
Of leftovers, on that depend.
--- Arden
(No matter if each one's the same)
As well as parades,
With floats filled with maids,
And nap on the couch -- oh the shame!
--- Arden
Have Christmas and Giving of Thanks.
They have turkey twice,
'Cause food is their vice;
Their waistlines are bursting their banks!
--- Jayne
We pig out to have Christmas cheer;
So fat we can't reach
To switch off the Queen's speech,
Then at New Years, we guzzle down beer.
--- Jayne
We feast upon the Butterball. (brand of turkey)
A thought which makes me shiver,
If Pilgrims had eaten liver?
I'd rather have no meat at all!
--- William K Alsop Jr
Who rejected my offer to nest.
She then asked me why
I had started to cry.
I said, "I can't get it back in my chest."

Who just couldn't seem to rhyme.
She pulled out her hair;
Her nostrils did flare.
She said, "What the heck, just be mine!"

Who'll you be aiming your valentine smile at?
I know to my puny form
You'd rather the uniform
Of a policeman, a fireman or pilot!

Last Valentine's Day and guess what?
I went to the mall
And reposted them all
For the twenty-first time on the trot.

And wistfully sign with a sigh:
To Sonia, Sandy,
Alicia, Mandy,
And probably others, from I.

He thought: "Sure enough,
I'll sell all her stuff!"
Her nude pictures quickly were token.

A corporate-induced brand of hell,
A card and a flower
Get only a glower.
An act of real love rings her bell.

'My heart, dear, you stole
With your teeth, black as coal,
And your hair that's all stringy like hay.'"

"I see you at school;
Your looks make me drool;
Could you please send a smile my way?"

Who'll hold off as long as he can,
And romance extend
To sweet mutual end.

Or maybe a ring.
Oh, heck -- will you bring
Me more of those lim'ricks you wrote?"
--- Anon
Is when it comes to having fun:
Though ladies maight linger,
The guy's trigger finger
Frequently shortens the fun.
--- Chris Papa
My mind serenely encroaches.
Romance is so nice
And gives life some spice,
Who needs a lover that poaches.
--- Maggie
Is the preference for women like me.
Libido with haste
Is merely a waste!
Linger with passion! Ecstasy!
--- Maggie
A candy-and-card merchant's trick.
This stuff about cupid,
Is insipid and stupid;
All a man wants is pleasing his prick.
--- John Miller
Pursue her, although it may kill you.
Valentines might just whet her
And maybe you'll get her
To answer a "YES" to your "WILL YOU?"
--- Ystap T9801
I'm reminded that "hearts" are like wines,
The redder the better,
So don't you forget her,
And send her those sugar-sweet lines.
--- Ystap T9801
My love has not turned into bliss.
I wrote out some lines
On sweet Valentines,
And now I can just reminisce.

With perfume that quite overpowers.
But she takes just one smell,
And gets hay fever. Hell!
Now she'll be sneezing for hours.
--- Tiddy Ogg
Is no way the nadir or hell. Yeah,
Alone is okay.
What makes a bad day,
Is when you're stuck with the wrong fella.
Whom without there'd just be no fun,
At playing a game,
Though still kinda lame,
You know who you are, don't ya hon?
--- Anon
With frankincense and so much myrrl.
Both shepherds and flock
Were in for a shock
When the Wise Men announced, "A black girl!"

I've ruled out phlebitis
And osteoarthritis.
You appear to have acute tinselitis.

My cook said, "Here's eggs,
And cold turkey legs;
Your kin ate the rest of the bird!"

To keep them away from the muggers,
And away from kids;
Put Scrooge on the skids,
Get rid of the Bah Humbuggers.

I am a curmudgeon I fear.
But I'll see it through,
I'll brighten my view
With a few bottles of old Christmas cheer.

They're painting the dinghies and sculls.
On the beach and the bay
Anybody would say
That it's Christmas for bouys and for gulls.
--- A N Wilkins P8801
And we were in bed, well, because.
The kids are asleep.
They don't know how cheap
I am, as I pray for St Claus.
--- Rich Grise
The turkey decided to pray.
And as down came the axe,
The farm got a fax
Saying "Christmas is cancelled 'til May."
--- Anon
I drown in twinkles when I sneeze.
I might just as well
Be buried in tinsel.
My wife has got Christmas Disease.

For the socks that you sent me this year;
And the handkerchiefs too.
I'll be thinking of you
When I'm blowing my nose, never fear.
--- Peter Wilkins
And the socks; well, I thank you. You spent
Far too much, you old bat,
Oh, I'm sorry 'bout that;
'Twas a slip of the pen never meant.
--- Peter Wilkins
Than last year's. I love this new sweater,
But cannot believe
The great length of one sleeve,
Which has smudged all the ink on this letter.
--- Peter Wilkins
And I'd thank you; but really -- those ties
That you sent were so stained
And with dirt so ingrained,
That they once were your own, I surmise.
--- Peter Wilkins
Dear Great Grandma, I fear that the shock's
Been a little too great;
Please forgive me. I'm late
Writing thank you, my dear, for the socks.
--- Peter Wilkins
'Cause one shattered last night in its fall.
The tree now is well done,
Though my ex's missing one.
All the best of the Season to y'all.
--- Pilar
