Thanksgiving Feast

Before we eat all of this food on our Thanksgiving table
I'd like to describe the feast before us as best as I am able
This spread of dishes is so vast in scope, ya
Might well call it a cornucopia

There's gobs of greens and bounteous beans
And a plethora of potatoes
There's a plenteous plate of turkey meat
And a teeming tureen of tomatoes
With copious cranberry sauce
And more than sufficient stuffing
There is no doubt when this meal is done
We'll all be huffing and puffing

Remember not to overeat so that you won't become sick
Now let us say a prayer of thanks, and please pass me the drumstick!

Back to the Farm

I'm tired of the city
I want to go back to the farm
Leave behind this frenetic life
And return to rustic charm
Return to rustic charm

I long again to frolic
Through the countryside bucolic
Where life is quiet and peaceful
It's a pastoral Nirvana
Where the farmland is so fecund
Crops grow in just one second
And the pastures filled with verdure
Are the green as an iguana

I'm tired of the city
I want to go back to the farm
Leave behind this frenetic life
And return to rustic charm
Return to rustic charm
