Thanksgiving

The only true "gig" I really ever played was at my dad's 40th birthday party....scared the absolute living poop out of me lol

I was 14 years old.

....and now I feel really old. I suppose my dad would say the same today lol....I'll ask him tomorrow. He has a video of the event too....might be fun to record that off the tape and post lol
The only true gig I played was also as a teenager. Mine was a party for a school board election campaign.
 
TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING BUT I JUST COULDN'T SLEEP
I TRIED COUNTING BACKWARDS, I TRIED COUNTING SHEEP.

THE LEFTOVERS BECKONED - THE DARK MEAT AND WHITE
I FOUGHT THE TEMPTATION WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT

TOSSING AND TURNING WITH ANTICIPATION
THE THOUGHT OF A SNACK BECAME INFATUATION

SO, I RACED TO THE KITCHEN, FLUNG OPEN THE DOOR
AND GAZED AT THE FRIDGE, FULL OF GOODIES GALORE.

I GOBBLED UP TURKEY AND BUTTERED POTATOES,
PICKLES AND CARROTS, BEANS AND TOMATOES.

I FELT MYSELF SWELLING SO PLUMP AND SO ROUND
'TIL ALL OF A SUDDEN, I ROSE OFF THE GROUND.

I CRASHED THROUGH THE CEILING, FLOATING INTO THE SKY
WITH A MOUTHFUL OF PUDDING AND A HANDFUL OF PIE.

BUT, I MANAGED TO YELL AS I SOARED PAST THE TREES...
HAPPY EATING TO ALL PASS THE CRANBERRIES, PLEASE.

***

MAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY, MAY YOUR TURKEY BE PLUMP.
MAY YOUR POTATOES'N GRAVY HAVE NARY A LUMP.
***
MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE,
MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER STAY OFF YOUR THIGHS.
***
HAVE A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING
 
Hope you are all getting appropriately stuffed

I know I am a day early, but like they say better early than late. I would like to take this time, to wish my American friends here on TTR a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! not to mention this day alone , but to be thankful every day!

:cheers:

Thank you Norm. I must say, if All of Canada and USA and the rest of the world were as thoughtful, friendly and as pleasant as you, we humans would have a whole lot more happiness and love to all be thankful for.
 
Yours too, Norm, You are such a thoughtful member and it does go a long way especially to those of us who struggle with emotional and health and family type burdens that weigh on us and rob some fraction of our joy that is possible.

My same appreciation goes out to all you knuckleheads such as BastardDONO<DONALDDUCK< ADrian the Zookeeper, SmittyP, COL, 67, Mitch,Gball, GOOOOOOO< RVAAAAAAA< Ramo, HAck, Voxy< Iblive, Sysco, Sp8 and all I haven't mentioned. Lots of rubbing elbows and for the most part no WWIII's.

That is a great testament to be thankful for.
