        Thanksgiving, San Diego Style!

                           

                            
              Thanksgiving Eve I Went to Bed

              With Thoughts of Feasting in My Head!

              And Pilgrims in Their Tiny Boat,

              The Mayflower, Barely Afloat!

                           

              But in My Dream No Plymouth Rock

              Kept Dry Each Pilgrim's Shoe and Sock!

              They Sailed Past Coronado Isle,

              To San Diego to Unpile!

                           

              Hey, Hey, My Name is Audrey Mae!

              My Deep Sleep Flipped Thanksgiving Day!

              Dreampt Mom and Pat Sat on the Floor

              Stuffing Californ'a Condor

              With 'rugula, Avocados,

              Mandarin and Pistachios!

              Side Dishes Like Ahi Tuna,

              Sushi Tacos, Vino Cool'a!

                           
             I Woke Up Kind'a Herky-Jerky!

             My Nose Sniffed Out Old Style Turkey!

             I Climbed a Tree and Spied the Bay!

             The Mayflower Had Sailed Away!

                           

                            
              Later, At Pat's, We Sat to Dine!

              Loved Ev'ry Bit of Food!   Divine!

              And Even Now, My Tongue and Mouth 

              Were Glad Those Pilgrims Found Plymouth!
