The 12 Days of Thanksgiving

---

On the First Day	We give thanks for the fresh turkey feast and its hot trimmings.
On the Second Day	We bless the cold turkey sandwiches, sloshy cranberry sauce, and hard rolls.
On the Third Day	We praise the turkey pie and vintage mixed veggies.
On the Fourth Day	We thank the pilgrims for not serving bison that first time, or we'd be celebrating Thanksgiving until April.
On the Fifth Day	We gobble up cubed bird casserole and pray for a glimpse of naked turkey carcass.
On the Sixth Day	We show gratitude (sort of) to the creative cook who slings cashews at the turkey and calls it Oriental.
On the Seventh Day	We forgive our forefathers and pass the turkey-nugget pizza.
On the Eighth Day	The word ''vegetarian'' keeps popping into our heads.
On the Ninth Day	We check our hair to make sure we're not beginning to sprout feathers.
On the Tenth Day	We hope that the wing meat kabobs catch fire under the broiler.
On the Eleventh Day	We smile over the creamed gizzard because the thigh bones are in sight.
On the Twelfth Day	We apologize for running out of turkey leftovers. And everybody says Amen.
