Turkey Day!

Today's a day when family and friends unite.
All are pleased by a generous invite.
Some arrive by car and some arrive by flight.
Kids play in snow that is powdered and white.
They pretend to duel as a ninja and a knight.
Yet, down here, kids avoid a sun that is way too bright.
Everyone anticipates that first turkey bite.
They gather around the fireplace for heat and ambient light.
They sing songs and sometimes fight.
They work together to assemble dinner with every last creative might.
The turkey fits in the oven, even though the squeeze is tight.
Some play board games and grant life or smite.
Some play trivia games and declare who's wrong or right.
Dinner is served and everyone's faces show delight.
Giving thanks is the child with the smallest height.
Some request a cold zero-calorie Sprite.
The chefs ask how good the food is; the guests answer "quite!"
All say thanks and show they can be polite.
Full bellies make everyone tired so they all say "good night!"
Another year goes by and everyone is alright.
Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy its taste, touch, smell, sound, and sight!
