Thanksgiving Humor
I burned the crescent rolls
and then the tears flowed.
We knew they were inevitable
She was definitely on overload.
Too many people in the house,
way too much commotion,
"You brought a dish not on my menu?"
Oh god, the tears became an ocean.
"I'll just scrape the burned part off..."
evoked another muffled sob.
"My dinner's ruined and nobody cares
I'm just too old for this job."
"Think I'll have a glass of wine,
care to join me, sis?
Think we're going to need it
to survive this Thanksgiving bliss!"
"I'm never doing this again,
I cannot take the stress...
To host a family gathering
puts me under such duress!"
A year since then has passed,
my telephone starts to ring.
"Coming home for Thanksgiving?"
"Of course, what should I bring?"
and then the tears flowed.
