THANK GOD!
\nThis Thanksgiving, may families join ranks
\nAnd remember to fill in the blanks:
\nSo expression of gratitude
\nMay be more than a platitude,
\nLet\u2019s acknowledge to Whom we give thanks.<\/p>\n

From the archive:<\/em><\/p>\n

LEFTOVERS
\nThursday\u2019s carcass long after supplies
\nTurkey Sandwiches, Stews, and Pot Pies;
\nTurkey Omelets, Fettucini,
\nCasseroles, Tetrazzini;
\nTurkey Gumbo, \u00e0 la King, and Surprise.
\n(2011)<\/p>\n

DRESS CODE
\nWe showed up in our holiday best,
\nWith the exception of one honored guest,
\nSo the dinner was late
\nAnd we all had to wait
\nBecause \u201cTom\u201d was not properly dressed.
\n(2010)<\/p>\n

ASK AND RECEIVE
\nThe poor Tinman is lacking a heart,
\nWhile the Scarecrow is not very smart;
\nAnd the King of the Forest,
\nExpected to roar best,
\nIs reluctant to play a brave part.
\n(2009)<\/p>\n

OOH LA LA!
\nA fried turkey injected with spice,
\nShrimp-stuffed mirlitons and dirty rice,
\nPecan pie, oyster dressing \u2013
\nHow we rush through the blessing!
\nYes, a Creole Thanksgiving is nice.
\n(2008)<\/p>\n

GRATITUDE
\nIf you\u2019re thankful for your lot
\nAnd all the things you\u2019ve got,
\nThen say a prayer
\nAnd give a care
\nFor someone on the spot.
\n(2007)<\/p>\n

FAVORITE DISH
\nHow much better can Thanksgiving get?
\nIn my bedroom a 60-inch set,
\nAnd in HD displayed
\nThis year\u2019s Macy\u2019s Parade:
\nWaking up to a scrumptious Rockette!
\n(2007)<\/p>\n

SATIETY
\nWith the turkey and trimmings procured,
\nOur Thanksgiving repast is assured,
\nBut it won\u2019t be complete
\n\u2018Til we sit down to eat
\nAnd the family\u2019s as stuffed as the bird.
\n(2006)<\/p>\n

CIRCULAR SAUCE
\nIf your husband\u2019s a Thanksgiving fan
\nAnd a cranberry sauce kind of man,
\nYou might make him a batch
\nOf the sauce all from scratch,
\nBut he\u2019ll miss that weird goop in the can!
\n(2005)<\/p>\n

THANKSGIVING
\nLord, we ask of you a boon:
\nTo bless our guests this noon.
\nWe\u2019re so grateful they
\nCould come today \u2013
\nAnd have to leave real soon!
\n(2004)<\/p>\n

GOBBLER
\nHold your horses; we\u2019re not in a race.
\nGet that drumstick away from your face.
\nNow put your fork down
\nAnd stop making that frown.
\nYou can eat when we finish the grace.
\n(2003)<\/p>\n

Last week\u2019s limerick:<\/em><\/p>\n

BRIGHT SPOT
\nThough he seems to completely ignore
\nAn economy sick to the core,
\nFearless Leader has made
\nMore demand for one trade,
\nGuaranteeing that gun sales would soar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
