Thanksgiving Night © Tony Fallon 112817
The Thanksgiving feast was over and I sat beside the fire
You had given me a glass of whisky I felt like a squire
The house was as quiet as a mouse no one but us pair
Four hours before it was almost as busy as Times Square
Having everybody here this year lightened your workload
And we weren’t down in Yonkers looking at a big long road
An awful lot of turkey and trimming had quickly disappeared
And thanks to the grandchildren the table was finally cleared
And even you held your tongue and never once complained
When cranberries fell on the carpet and it was badly stained
With all the fun the family had the day will not be dismissed
And the love we have for each as they gathered in our midst
I’m sure you are as proud as I of the family we’ve created
And how we always stick together cannot be understated
The family sure keeps changing as we go from year to year
And all the memories formed today will never disappear.
