A Thanksgiving Poem

The Turkey Shot Out of the Oven

By Jack Prelutsky

The turkey shot out of the oven
and rocketed into the air,
it knocked every plate off the table
and partly demolished a chair.

It ricocheted into a corner
and burst with deafening boom,
then splattered all over the kitchen,
completely obscuring the room.

It stuck to the walls and the windows,
it totally coated the floor,
there was turkey attached to the ceiling,
where there'd never been turkey before.

It blanketed every appliance,
it smeared every saucer and bowl,
there wasn't a way I could stop it,
that turkey was out of control.

I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure,
and thought with chagrin as I mopped,
that I'd never again stuff a turkey
with popcorn that hadn't been popped.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, I haven't updated in a month. Oops:) Life has been busy!

My friends came and we went dress shopping. I got my dress and the girls all settled on a bridesmaid dress, got their measurements and decided on dress color. It was a very productive weekend and it was WONDERFUL to be able to show off Pittsburgh to my friends.

We're gearing up for Thanksgiving. Matthew and I are hosting Turkey Day dinner at our apartment for some friends from CMU. Hopefully we don't burn the turkey or have any other kitchen disasters:)

I'm psyching myself up for my long day on Black Friday. 7am-4pm is going to be a long shift but there will be a lot of people working (and shopping) so hopefully everyone will be in a lovely mood. I'm excited! When I was at Kohl's, Black Friday was one of my favorite days working there because all the people I liked to work with were there!

My brother and his girlfriend are coming to visit the weekend before Christmas! I'm excited to show them around!! Hopefully the weather will be nice.

Today it's rainy and 40...typical. I'm jealous of the snow in Minnesota/Wisconsin and am looking forward to a white Christmas at home!
