"Bye! Bye! Miss American Pie"

'Twas the night before Thanksgiving and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring as Dad was out (what a louse).
The baby was sleeping all snug in his bed
And mom was was downstairs eating cheese and French bread.
Nothing was baking - no cooking could be found -
Everything was so quiet with no family around.
Canada was peaceful - no driving - no flights
The street already filled with X-Mas "low energy" lights.
When what to my wondering eyes did appear?
But the fact that ESPN still transmits here!
So without any doubt - without a turkey to carve
I'll be spending my Thursday with a man named Brett Farve.
