Thanksgiving Dinner, a poem
November 25, 2019
Thanksgiving is the only time
my childhood enemies
Come back to mom and daddy’s house
and cheerf’ly pass the peas.

Please go, pick up your
Backpack, mess
Please go, pick up your
Backpack, mess
Please go, pick up your
Backpack, mess
WHAT, MOM?! WHAT??
Why are you stressed?
Why are you, just now, telling me
To get my backpack;
Clean my mess?

My life revolves around the towels
I know, because, within my bowels
I can’t but hear, in hopeless growls,
A noise that sounds like feral fowls
As all my smiles turn down to scowls,
When faced with folding yet more towels.
