Don'T Blame the Pilgrims

The crowd shuffles hands raised in vain attempt to catch a windblown lottery ticket If you spend 25 bucks (not counting the price of the turkey) You can get the turkey for 89 cents a pound If not….you’ll pay more for the turkey than for the entire dinner. Took my grandkids to the park. saw 32 wild turkeys crossing the street without a crossing guard. Never play checkers with a cat. I made Rock Cornish Game Hen for supper. My kids wanted to know what happened to the turkey? I told them I washed it…..and it shrunk. I once ate “Blood Pudding” and Parsnips with my father. Don’t ask! How long does it take to become “indigenous”? I asked Mom: “how many jelly beans can I have?” She answered: “how many is too many.” If you factor in all the cleaning, shopping, arranging, set-up, preparation…. the Thanksgiving meal comes to about $89.73 per person.. More if you have a “kids” table. John G. Lawless 11/23/2021
