'Twas the Night Before Turkey Day

'Twas the night before Thanksgiving
on Blue Jay Drive.
College Boy is home. And thankfully waited
around for his working mother to arrive.

Then he was off to see friends
and I was headed to town.
For church and choir practice
and to throw some pie down.

Had to go shopping,
luckily not for much
Wal-Mart was in chaos
preparing for the Black Friday rush.

When out in the parking lot
there came a silent guest.
The snow is a good sign
even if the roads were a mess.



When it falls before Game Day
it's magic from the North Pole.
The Norse Force will see victory
so we can yell "Skol!"

I should wrap up this sonnet
and head straight to bed.
Don't want my purple prose
to be something you'll dread.


Er, is it too late?
Ha. Have a super Turkey Day Game Day tomorrow!
