"A critic is a man who knows the way but can't drive the car." - Kenneth Tynan
I wasn't going to even use that quote, but it really matches well with the poem that I wrote. I hope you like it and take the advice given.

Thanksgiving Advice
A day again for giving thanks,
an appreciation day in itself
but may I make a few suggestions
as you overstuff yourself?
Say grace before you begin to eat
and savor each morsel of food.
Let not your heart be troubled.
Keep good spirits and a good mood.
Take a reflective look around
at all who sit at the table.
Appreciate all who are present.
Reflect on who is no longer able.
Place your heart before your tongue.
Pass the love when you pass the sauce.
No complaints this day about your job;
some people wish they had a boss.
Be joyous at this grateful time
and Happy Thanksgiving Day.
Go to bed early and set your clock
for Friday is Shopping Day!
