GOD ~ WE THANK YOU TODAY ~ For the USA
And all She*s given the Whole Wide World
Of Music & Art & Commerce & Science
Wherever the STARS & STRIPES are unfurled !
Discovered in 1492 ~ A Land of Beauty & Plenty
Others followed and discovered anew
All that the Country provided You .......
Colonized by the RICH & the POOR ones too !
In 17 hundred and 76 America became a NATION
And the THIRTEEN STATES expanded to FIFTY
And forty-six Presidents came & went
Mostly GOOD but some BAD and some SHIFTY !
Today we celebrate THANKSGIVING DAY
For the PILGRIM FATHERS that landed .......
Had their first HARVEST ~ sixteen - twenty - one
Convince thet The GOOD LORD had planned it ~ AMEN !
Their language is ENGLISH ? YES ! The UK played a part
In COLONIZATION ~ right from the start
BUT ~ Children grow up and soon flee the NEST
So AMERICA did ~ with the Colonial rest !
SO ~ Let us give thanks for the USA
Who supported UK through Two World Wars
WE rejoice with You on this THANKSGIVING DAY
Cos WE know in this World we*ve a Common Cause
We Pray for Joe Biden ~ PRES - I - DENT ELECT
And MALALA - His VP - who stepped up to the Plate
We Pray He*ll unite this NATION SELECT ~
With AN EXPERIENCED LADY ~ as His Running Mate ~ AMEN !
Thanks for visit comments welcome ~ Love Angela & Brian ! !
We have attended Thanksgiving Day Dinners in America and with American Friends in the UK *It sounds a lot like Christmas* but the experience is completely different ! It is a replica meal of the One the Pilgrim Fathers shared with the Native Americans in 1621 to celebrate their First Harvest in the New Land ! Thanks is given to GOD for the part played by the PILGRIM FATHERS in the Colonization of America. Everyone should experience a Thanksgiving Dinner ~ especially the PUMPKIN PIE ~ AMEN !

Good write B&A.
They ain't had no one with such a dodgy barnet in charge, until they had..... well, he's gotta go now.
A comedy programme line was: 'Ohh, I could never work with anyone who wears red trousers!' Not related to barnets, unless he has got some red trousers? heehee.
Me again lol
'Common cause'. I read it as 'Common sense' first - whatever is that?! lol.
An informative read on Thanksgiving that leaves us wishing unity and peace for the coming new presidency.
YES INDEED FAY ~ Unfortunately - due to TRUMP & other fctors the RIGHT (Republicans) & LEFT (Democrats) are very polarised in AMERICA. The term SOCIALIST (A more Egalitarian Society) is very suspect in America and is equated with Communism. This is why 70 million voted (not for Trump) but against DEMOCRACY (Joe & Malala Democrats) There are 13 % Afro-Americans & 15% Hispanics in America ! With Malala a Lady of Colour on the Ticket some Democrats galvanised these Ethnic Minorities to get out & vote against White Elitism which resulted a 74 million Popular vote for the Democrats & ultimately a big majority in the Electoral College. Trump is now well & truly defeated and if the Republicans have any sense they wont allow Him to run again in 2024 ! Joe (78) & Malala (58) have a tough job ahead of them but we believe that it is infinitely beter than a second term for TRUMP ~ OK. We believe that - in broad terms - our relationship with the USA (under the Democrats) will be much better than it was under Trump ~ AMEN
Blessings & Love & Peace & Joy
