Something Different To Celebrate? -- Verse-Case Scenario by Tony Peyser

My wife Kathy recently announced that
She would not be bereft over
A new holiday after Thanksgiving where
Each guest brought a leftover.

We agreed it's a little like Boxing Day
The English have on behalf
Of tradespeople and laborers as well
As postal workers and staff.

We're going to try and do this this Friday
I hope you, do, too and have a blast over
This brand new occasion every November
That I've decided to call Passedover.
