I Ate Too Much Turkey
I ate too much turkey,

I ate too much corn,

I ate too much pudding and pie,

I'm stuffed up with muffinsand much too much stuffin',

I'm probably going to die.

I piled up my plateand I ate and I ate,

but I wish I had known when to stop,

for I'm so crammed with yams,

sauces, gravies, and jams that my

buttons are starting to pop.

I'm full of tomatoesand french fried potatoes,

my stomach is swollen and sore,

but there's still some dessert,

so I guess it won't hurt

if I eat just a little bit more.
