Deep Thought: LEFTOVER BLUES

LEFTOVER BLUES

Was all excited, everyone invited, the party about to begin;

We all sat down, got unwound, hoping my team would win!

All the efforts were Bitchin, as the Cooks left the Kitchen,

Joining with a glass of wine;

There was laughter and a joke, as someone took a poke,

How recliners might curve the spine...

The Aper's were Bi-Valves and Shrimp, boiled to a limp,

While the Oysters played in the Butter.

Didn't take long, as the Wine turned to Song,

No place for Meekness or Mutter!

Through the 5th course, like a fattened horse,

Time was called out by the Host;

Just enough time, setting my belt loop a line,
Ready for the Celebratory Toast!

As we finished out, without a doubt,

The Leftovers appeared in Masses;

Figuring what went where, would it fit in there,

We were even packing Jelly Glasses!

Some stuff was in a Tin, a big Plastic Bin,

Wax Paper served as a holder;

If you wouldn't have seen, the Bacon and Bean,

It looked like I was smuggling a Boulder!

In any case, we air-kissed Face, and said our Good-Bye's once more;

So funny seeing, someone by the door peeing,

At least it wasn't on the floor...

Now, I must admit, I Love to sit, with People I barely know;

But after Introduction, you can almost feel the Suction,

New Friendship's will start to grow!

So, I'm back at the House, as an over-stuffed Mouse,

Who can't even get out of his hole;

Starts complaining to Me, It's been Day Three,

And Leftover's are still in the Bowl...

I cannot Lie, I Love my Pumpkin Pie, but in the Fridge...there's still 3 more;

The tray of Turkey and Dressing, Oh what a Blessing,

Like carnage you'd see in a War!

Okay, It'll all Disappear, with the odd-Imported Beer,

The Party was Yesterday's News;

I hear Barbell sounds, Trying to lose 30 Pounds,

Thank God for the Leftover Blues!
