The Ol\' Thanksgiving Blues

 

 

It was time for Thanksgiving dinner

I was grateful for the food

But after I finished eating

I  got the ol\' Thanksgiving blues.

 

Different dishes on the table

Only tiny bits of each I chose

But once they came together

I got the ol\' Thanksgiving blues.

 

I was grateful for the company

The company old and new

But after eating dinner

I got the ol\' Thanksgiving blues.

 

In no time the dessert laid out

I didn\'t want to be rude

I took a taste of every one

Got the ol\' Thanksgiving blues.

 

My stomach got so tight 

Couldn\'t bend to reach my shoes

I went to bed with my shoes still on

And the ol\' Thanksgiving blues.

 

I tossed and turned and couldn\'t sleep

It was then I surely knew

The only way to save myself

Was to have Thanksgiving poos.

 

Got up from bed and hobbled on

To the bathroom and paid my dues

And that dear friends is the only way

To  rid the ol\' Thanksgiving blues.
