Your Weird Uncle at Thanksgiving

He ... always eats while ... grandpa talks,
He snacks ... while cousins take a walk.

They ask him to dinner ... in late fall.

Where they serve ... roast Butterball.

 
He likes potatoes and green peas.
Loves cranberries ... drinks iced tea.
He looks at the feast and wants it all.
So he'll slice ... that Butterball.
 
Any ... drumstick he wants ... he'll get.
He will eat ... a whole pie ... without regret.
 
He ... is the meaning ... of excess.
His plate ... holds more than he'll digest.

They ask him to dinner ... in late fall.

Where he eats ... that Butterball.
 
His ... days of fasting ... are all gone.
His meals ... go on and on and on.
But he thinks ... that the pounds ... are worth it all.
So he eats ... more Butterball.
