Stuffed Up with Muffins and Much Too Much Stuffin'

Ate Too Much Turkey

By Jack Prelutsky

 

I ate too much turkey,

I ate too much corn,
I ate too much pudding and pie,

I'm stuffed up with muffins
and much too much stuffin',
I'm probably going to die.

I piled up my plate
and 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 tomatoes
and 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.

 

Brightandshinythings for the season.
