I look at my meal of turkey and pie
As I smile at the family huddling near
The football game raising a tear
As Cowboys fans keep asking why
Praying boldly for at least a tie
But I am waiting patiently for my wife to appear
So I can thank her for the best idea of the year
As the real festivities are on nigh
For the store’s doors are just over there
And we had cousin Jeb first in line
He got one of the drumsticks, it was only fair,
As the rest of us feast and dine
Tailgating is not just for sports, but take care
When those doors open the 72 inch 4K TV is mine!
