An Answer To The Trending Internet Question – “What Will Your Thanksgiving Menu Be?” Limerick

Internet Foodies are in a frenzy. They can only think about what are they going to make for Thanksgiving, how will they serve it, what will the table look like, and how much leftovers will there be? They are focused on the feast. Me, not so much. Don’t get me wrong, I love turkey, stuffing et all, but I can do without the fixing it. Then while amusing myself surfing the net reading the foodie fantasies, I discovered the answer to the “I can do without fixing it” dilema is in a can. WooHoo!
