Thanksgiving is a holiday
I’m sure you’re all aware of 
However there are several things
That you must be beware of 
I do not like dry turkey
But far worse is in that pot
The solution that looks murky
Is it food, you ask? It’s not. 
The gravy smells suspicious
And the pumpkin pie is grey
The cookies look alright, except
They’re placed on an ashtray
There are several squishy salads 
Made with maggot cheese and chalk
The apple and the chocolate pie
Are solid as a rock
A confusing-looking casserole
With toenails stuck inside
Smells very faint of bleach, cause it
Has hydrogen peroxide
The cornbread dressing ain’t that bad,
It’s only three weeks old
We have chunky mashed potatoes
That are only mostly cold
The butter looks appealing
And the rolls are piping hot
But the rolls are filled with fish guts
And the butter’s made of snot
Yes, Thanksgiving is a holiday
I’m sure you’re all aware of 
But these foods in particular
You really must beware of
