It’s post-Turkey day all across America, and fridges are full of leftovers from the night before. That was the inspiration for Typewriter Rodeo’s Jodi Egerton as she wrote this week’s poem.
Thanksgiving Leftovers
I’ll start with turkey sandwiches
Stacked and piled on high
With stuffing, cranberry sauce, some slaw
And okay, a layer of pie
The next day, I’m on turkey soup
Simmering all day
Spiced with some Texas chiles
To ward the cold away
The days tick past Thanksgiving
I work my way through food
Pot pies, tacos, enchiladas
A flavor for each mood
Gathering together
With family and friends
And when you share your leftovers
That thankfulness never ends
