Warm Turkey & Cheer

The leaves are falling and littering the ground
With colors of yellow and orange and brown.
The weather is cooler and the crisp air is chill,
And there’s a bit of frost in each windowsill.
The season has changed. It’s a new time of year;
A season of giving; A time of good cheer.
Family and friends seem to be on your mind,
And everyone everywhere is considerably kind.
The table is set with all the best dishes.
The turkey is golden and smells delicious.
The rolls are warm. The stuffing is steamy.
The salad is fresh and the potatoes are creamy.
When you finally finish the last bite of pie,
You loosen your belt and let out a sigh.
Now that dinner is over you can’t say a word
‘Cause you’re just as stuffed as the turkey bird.
