This is a clever posting, Jerry, and makes a very enjoyable read for the Thanksgiving writing prompt contest. I ate a lot on the holiday, but not enough to be uncomfortable. It is not always that way. lol

Thanks for the great review and I am proud of your restraint. For me it was easier this year because we celebrated with the kids and grandkids on Zoom and cooking for just two definitely cuts down on the quantity. - Jerry
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about a very different Thanksgiving celebration this year with social distancing and mask wearing we cannot see each others' smile.

What a great imagery and visuals! Love that artwork. Your words were humorous and clever. I liked the presentation.
I think it should make an excellent entry to the contest, good luck in the booths.

I hope you enjoy Thanksgiving, Jerome. Your poem shows you know the side effects of gluttony, so you won't be suffering from indigestion afterwards and can enjoy it even more.

We all fear having indigestion on Turkey Day, but we over eat anyway. I guess it is part of tradition. This year we have less people, but more food. I have the antacids ready. Good luck in the contest.

This is good advice for the upcoming holiday feasting-moderation is important not only on Thanksgiving. This is a good presentation for the contest. I like your picture choice.

Dolly, thank you for the excellent review. Share your concerns about the turkeys. Perhaps that is part of the wisdom that we should not waste food or kill animals just for sport. - Jerry
Comment from mermaids
I applaud your poem. I love Thanksgiving but with a sensitive stomach, over eating is out of the question. You have created a two line poem that shows we need to not overindulge. Excellent use of words.

Mermaids - Thank you for the 5 star review. Hope you have a wonderful holiday despite all that is going on in the world and your sensitive stomach. We will be dining with the kids and grandkids via Zoom. - That is a beautiful picture that you are holding, did you paint it? Stay well - Jerry

The picture I am holding, I painted at an art class. Everyone in the class painted the same picture with the instructor's guidance. The classes were fun and I miss them, no classes since Covid. Elaine

Elaine - it is a wonderful painting, You might want to consider painting at home and taking classes on-line. If you would like to see some of my work, go to: artbyjerome.shutterfly.com Stay well - Jerry
