Given the bird there was a word
Thanksgiving gluttony in living
Too much food sets the mood
Sit and slurp as we belch and burp
Shifting our ass to pass gas
At the end of the day, just throw it away
Let the starving die
It’s a lie, eat your pumpkin pie
On Thanksgiving

Andy
Thank you, Andy pumpkin pie taste pretty much like sweet potato pie. Appreciate the read and the comment.
Sounds like a lot of fun. A lot to be thankful for. Good fun poem
Thank you, David. I appreciate the comment. Yes, this is a day of overdoing.
Veggies will have pumpkin pie, yes?! Happy Thanksgiving Day there 🙂
Thanks so much. I appreciate your reading this and for your comment. Have a wonderful day.
A very very happy Thanksgiving to you and all whom you love my dearest sorrenbarret 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃 💙 🎄
I absolutely love pumpkin pie, and banoffee just in case your making them lol 🤣
Thank you so much, Teddy. I appreciate your reading this poem and hope you have a wonderful day as well.
Oh, so you know about that shift! Not to be indelicate but even cushioned seats appear impervious to passing gases.
Thanks for the read and the comment. Yes indeed, a little shifting is sometimes necessary.
I think if we had to kill and clean the pet turkey, before cooking, we might be more grateful.
Or just take the pumpkin pie. Which, if like grammar pie, is more to my liking.
Thank you so much for reading this poem and yes, you’re right. We have a little appreciation for what goes into the fixing of the meal.
Am I looking at the same post? I felt that there was a subtle (not too subtle surely) critique of gluttony there, Soren....
A rich write.
Yes!! Thanks Dave
A problem with metaphor and ambiguity?
Great write
Thank you, Tony. I appreciate your comment and reading of this poem.
You're welcome
Wow! You and I are viewing this day through the same lens my friend! A wonderfully poignant and truthful poem friend! 👏🌹 That said, I do wish you and family a very Happy Thanksgiving Day.
Thank you, Tristan. I appreciate your comment and I wish you a happy Thanksgiving as well.
'Sit and slurp as we belch and burp

I think this is a great perspective, focusing on how it is an integral part of life, even if at first glance it appears to be a dirty operation.
I don't remember the last time read such scathing critique of overindulgence in such crisp and almost comical tone. Reminnded me of Charlie Chaplin,'s style. Truely remarkable. Advanced apologies for any misinterpretation
No apology needed you are right on the mark
We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here, but I can imagine the feasting done on this day. A day to pig out and probably alot of left overs in the kitchen. Does make you think of the hungry. My mum wouldn’t let us leave the table till our plates were clean. You reminded me. A poem of contrasts Soren. Both humour and sadness.
Thank you Cassie I find that much humor contains an element of darkness.
