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

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.

Yes, my aging digestion makes for gorging myself silly, almost impossible for me to engage indigestion, making sleep uncomfortable, well done great entry, blessings Roy

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.

Yes we all over indulge in the celebration and those poor turkeys risk everything for thanksgiving and Christmas! Will they ever escape the chop! Your words are uplifting and I enjoyed them Jerome, love Dolly x

    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

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.

    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
