Thanksgiving came a week early at the Keough household...

Well, I started out
On a turkey roast
Carved some out
From the bone
And the spuds went down
As the sauce did spill
I downed enough
To serve Brazil
I'm yearning for pie
But my taste buds sting
Tummy's stout
From the harvest fling
Well, some good Rolaids
May block the burn
And some Scotch might help
With the queasy churn
I'm spurning the pie
And the pain it brings
Copping out
Is the smartest thing
[Short instrumental break]
My comely wife
She freaks and frowns
I made her bark
Squealin' sounds
So I start to doubt
I dodge her stare
(But) I best be bold
And try her wares
She's serving the pie
I'm bound to down
The crust so fluffed
Crisp and brown
[Short instrumental break]
Enduring the pie
As my waistband clings
Drumming sound
As my farts just zing
I'm turning to cry
And shroud my pout
My gut bloats up
Must come out...
"I'm churning," I cry
"I'm hurling the pie!"
On a turkey roast
Carved some out
From the bone
And the spuds went down
As the sauce did spill
I downed enough
To serve Brazil
I'm yearning for pie
But my taste buds sting
Tummy's stout
From the harvest fling
Well, some good Rolaids
May block the burn
And some Scotch might help
With the queasy churn
I'm spurning the pie
And the pain it brings
Copping out
Is the smartest thing
[Short instrumental break]
My comely wife
She freaks and frowns
I made her bark
Squealin' sounds
So I start to doubt
I dodge her stare
(But) I best be bold
And try her wares
She's serving the pie
I'm bound to down
The crust so fluffed
Crisp and brown
[Short instrumental break]
Enduring the pie
As my waistband clings
Drumming sound
As my farts just zing
I'm turning to cry
And shroud my pout
My gut bloats up
Must come out...
"I'm churning," I cry
"I'm hurling the pie!"

Leo, if you want to and if you have time, I'd like your opinion on the syllable matching here:

No hurry, and give it to me straight, I can take it. Thanks. ;-)
5 pumpkin pies for you (but I'm keeping the pecan pies for myself.) :-)
Thanks all...And especially, thanks Hall - Good to see you back here after many months of absense...What have you been up to?
Thanks, Leo. Good to be back, and hopefully less often or so lengthily absent. Been busy with other stuff, but recently resumed committing a few ideas to electrons. If it survives editorial censorship -- some bits may be questionable -- one recent effort should show up tomorrow or soon after. :-)
