A Prayer to My Gall Bladder

A Prayer to My Gall Bladder

I have a Thanksgiving request

I need for you to digest;

dear pouch beneath my liver

I need your help as I eat that sliver

of pie, turkey and extra gravy

and perhaps some stuffing savory;

Break down the fat from all that food

and please, oh please, don’t wreck my mood;

Tiny, bag of green bile,

please continue to work awhile

as I eat a second helping or a third,

spare me, from antacids and attacks of GERD.
