This is a delightful poem and I'm afraid, all to accurate for many families these days. I enjoyed the rhyme and imagery and all the colorful details. Good luck in the contest.

This sounds like a typical family gathering with the chaos of different generations and the lively buzz of people all with different needs, but what I felt here was warmth and happiness, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Thank you for the kind words.
Comment from bob cullen
Loved the line; 'Granny getting antsy 'cause she's being ignored.' That is precisely what happened, after a few wines. Were you at our family gathering? This is superbly written. The rhyme is magical, and it flowed equally as well, and almost as often as Gran's wine. She sure slept well that night.
A fabulous poem.

A fascinating poem my friend, and although the flow is a little antsy in places, very clever story and ideal for this type of rhyming poem that this, articulate, with great rhyming, and very quirky, good luck, blessings Roy

A lovely humorous touch here in these lines celebrating all that is Thanksgiving or indeed any family gathering with a wonderful mingling of generations

Well done. This poem conveyed the poet's message with great humor, effective use of rhyming and imagery. Your choice of graphic also worked well for this reader. I hope you keep on writing such verse.
