Several people on LJ have waxed poetic or turned to music in honor of Thanksgiving. Well, here's a little parody for afterward that I cooked up months ago and am now, er, reheating:

Mama, this tryptophan...
All the turkey I was fed
Had me snoring in my bed.
Mama, the night had just begun,
But now I've gone and snoozed it all away.
Mama, oo-oooooooooooooooh,
Didn't mean to make you sigh.
If I'm not out of bed this time tomorrow,
Carry on; carry on,
As if nothing really matters.

(I happened to see the Muppet version on YouTube shortly before Thanksgiving, but I didn't even need the reminder.)

I sang my version on an evening walk last night, tho I hadn't had any tryptophan and wasn't tired yet. My mom was impressed at the high notes I could hit without going into falsetto. Somehow I do better at that when I imitate somebody.

But wait! It's not just any wax! It's SE Johson's Super Poetic Wax with extra sheen!

Mama, the night had just begun,
But now I've gone and snoozed it all away.
Mama, oo-oooooooooooooooh,
oooooooooooooooooooooh, my stomach!
oooooooooooooooooooooh, my stomach!
