unstuffed

the cranberry sauce in
a can
was a surprise
having been promised
grandma's secret recipe.
as was the boxed
stuffing
and tin packaged gravy.
the tofu
turkey I must say did
raise some eyes,
as did the carob
cake
and raw celery.
all washed down with a
glass of bottle
capped wine,
but no one gained an
ounce of weight, no
one fell asleep or
felt the slightest
of belly aches
and there were leftovers
galore
for the tupper ware
to wrap
and take.
