Oh what a day
The crystal is polished and bright
The jello mold has been in the fridge all night
The table is set to please
The mac has been over cheesed
Giblets are swimming in gravy
Carrots chopped up nice and wavy
Working all week to make everything perfect
Praying nightly that there’s nothing to correct
String beans are strung
Yams candied and done
The rolls fluffy and hot
Showing the doubters what you got
Turkeys nicely browned
A roast in the form of a crown
The table is crowded with food and faces
Every dish and person sitting in their places
You’ve spared no expenses
The eating commences
The clatter of silverware
Rents the air
In the midst of the glut
Cries out Uncle Burt the nut
I see cakes, pies, meats and gravy
And you all might think I’m crazy
BUT
Where’s the potatoes

Now that I think about it, I just hope all the Burt’s don’t mount a protest against me!
