What If Thanksgiving Celebrated 24/7 365 Days A Year

rew4er2nail

an earlier draft of this barely satisfactory missive ex post facto, i chomped asper with upper dentures upon evincing a couple of typographical errors, in up rye or draft, and did not wanna dodge being a spell bound stickler for typing words correctly.

though no obligation to trot out this fixation sans zero misspelling tolerance, a compulsion with any concomitant obsession found me reposting before a repast of dessert - so there Ghost of Marie Antoinette, wherever you might be hiding - i can have my cake and eat it too!

Minus trimmings and over stuffed ego freezers,

but altruism, civility, Dharma bum ethnocentrism,

gratuitous homogeneous internationalism,

karma mosaic opportunism, quitessential righteousness,

unpretentious vivacious wide world yipping,

 

brouhaha dutifully emphasizing friendliness,

antithetically booing critical, popularly pugnacious

spoiled trump petting uber western yikyak,

zealous antipathy craving everything.

---------------------------------------------------------

a hypothetical, mental, rhetorical thought question

occurred to me just moments ago

sans, milk of human kindness bubbles frothily

upon major American holiday,

 

whereat figurative bro

thar and sisters exhibit philanthropic

good-samaritan charitable ambitions

especially, towards indigent that crow

for bare necessities

 

other than when Thanksgiving rolls around, and dough

nuts to dollars even most frugal misanthropes

play feigned charitable card egoistically glow

with ambient benevolence, civility,

diligent energy, and friendly hello

 

and sundry pleasant greetings

hook hood be some

soon tubby rich entrepreneurial stranger

ready to make shares available vis a vis IPO

 

to dirt poor anonymous guarillas G.I. Jane or G.I. Joe

who cross paths with each other,

even those one doth not know

 

when ordinary biases, callousness,

denigration...doth full low

out the mouths of hoity toity MainLiners

towards working class people - mow

awe less trying to remain financially afloat,

and with plea for handout

would receive an emphatic NO!

 

Thee exception to unspoken aristocratic rule

arising on feted buzz

feed ding occasions where oboe

players invoke cobra to deliver riches galore to the 'po

 

whom sincerely show gratitutde,

yet wonder why status quo

reserves select calendrical dates for handouts

proffered after standing in a row

of similarly bereft individuals aware at stark

 

outpouring overt nurture minded, humanity

(with perchance a guest appearance by Sean Hannity),

this public denouement,

an atypical venue for his television show

 

where generosity spills forth

from said personality and others alike

blithely, demonstrably, fortuitously, happily,

jubilantly, lovingly, modestly, poignantly,

where an announcer speaks thru a mike

 

to open their doors and hearts asper,

those down and out

pushing belongings along the pea king pike

of broken tureens with

only a mangy dog as companionship,

 

and though I admit tubby hyperbolical,

hypocritical, hypothetical

hypoteneuse of hippopotamus

no charity less valuable then self and spouse,

whom both experience spike

in anxiety since net income purportedly

below the poverty level, though we reside

 

within subsidized housing (outliers

here at 2 Highland Manor Drive),

yet random acts of an effortless smile,

cordial greeting to passersby, or

waving fellow drivers right of way,

 

such minimally polite services today,

the most within my limited monetary hi say

means, which behavior aye strive ray

dee to maintain zero cost politesse,

which cost nada cent, but doth pay

highest dividends,

which reciprocal acknowledge may

be the greatest reward,

 

whether or not a response elicited tis quite o kay

the satisfaction arising breeching comfort zone

viz exposure therapy lighting up gray

matter analogous to a cerebral Christmas tree

and any regret avoided, asper congenial efforts

generate “hi” kickstarts my day.
