A poem for the Thanksgiving holiday.

I will slowly cook a deer roast in the crock-pot,

bake a pumpkin pudding and a chocolate cake.

I will boil red potatoes on the stovetop,

then serve them mashed with brown gravy.

Canned corn will simmer on the back burner,

then creamed with milk and a little flour.

I will fix boxed stuffing in the microwave,

hoping it will be moist just like my Mom’s.

I will bake a large pan of buttery yeast rolls,

and open up a can of cranberry sauce.

This will be my Thanksgiving feast,

one that my whole family will enjoy.
