the butterball turkey

i put a big fat turkey in the oven
and set the table.

table for one.
but i go all out with the good china.

a lit candle, music on.

roasted potatoes, carrots and
cranberries.

i take a peak at the bird
every now and then, only five
more hours to go,

i baste it with butter,
talk to it like a small child,

encouraging it.

soon, hopefully before Christmas ends,
it will be done.
