Leaves twirl and crunch
and the daylight wanes
before the kids are tired
Cheers from the stadium
drift on gusts of cool night air
while you walk the dog
Grandma Costco bakes
a thousand pumpkin pies
and they are gone before seven
Aunt Myrtle calls
volunteering
to bring the dressing
You lie
and say
"That would be lovely"
Take an extra
helping
at dinner tonight
It's time to start
stretching your belly
for Thanksgiving.
