I didn't want to have Thanksgiving 

Because my family lost their minds

I know we all get strange ideas

But this one beat all kinds


He wanted something different 

"Ok, don't invite your side"

My girls both yelled "lasagna"

"Mac and cheese," my young son cried 


Now I wonder about my children

They are too much like their dad

They don't want my pumpkin pie

They want root beer floats instead


He said he'd get a keg of beer 

And no fancy glass of wine 

We'll have an awesome fish fry  

Defeated, I said "#%^#@% fine"


That morning you go see your mom

I know you're sad that she is sick

We'll take care of everything

Even the deer hearts on a stick


I Ieft early that cold morning 

I had a great time with my mom

 She sent me home to my family

My first Thanksgiving bomb


Extra cars were in the driveway  

More came than what I knew 

He might be having buddies

One more thing to make me blue


When I walked into the house

I smelled turkey and pumpkin pie

I asked him where the fish was

  A big smile and a lil white lie


My siblings brought the meal

I didn't quite know what to say

My hubby planned this fiasco

To give me the best Thanksgiving Day
