THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING

 

The day after Thanksgiving

Is known as "Black Friday"

Because it matches the mood

Of unhappy shoppers that day

WHAT DO THE WELL FED SHOPPERS EAT

What do the well fed shoppers eat

Among the throng on Black Friday?

Obviously they gorge themselves

On leftovers from Thanksgiving Day 

BLACK FRIDAY WEEK

 

I miss the good old days

When Black Friday

Was actually limited

To one single Day

GIVE THANKS FOR SOMETHING

 

My Great Aunts cooking was so bad

When we used to eat in her parlour

My Dad told us that Thanksgiving

Was to commemorate Pearl Harbour

HAPPY TURKEY DAY

When we have Thanksgiving Dinner

And were all seated at the table

The first thing I do is name the Turkey

And make everyone uncomfortable

ALTHOUGH IT HAS BECOME A FAMILY TRADITION

 

Although it has become a family tradition 

Not everyone over eats on Thanksgiving

And of course I’m referring to the Turkeys

Because they were stuffed in the beginning

MY FAMILY ALL TOLD ME TO STOP

 

My family all told me to stop

Telling Thanksgiving jokes,

But I had to say no, as I wasn’t

One of those “cold turkey” blokes
