Turkey Trot

My tennis shoes pounded the pavement today.
Running off turkey and that big dessert tray!
The Thanksgiving meal was truly delish',
Did I limit my 'intake?' Yeah, right... I just wish.

One step for the potatoes, now one for the pies,
I just kept on running. No calories on my thighs!
After the first mile, I was tempted to stop.
But I remembered the dressing, with gravy on top!

So, I took a deep breath and stayed on track,
Not wanting to add girth to my view 'round back.
I ran those two miles,  (I should have run three)
Turkey trot's done...now to leftovers.. with glee!
