I Do Not Sing(On This Thanksgiving Spring)

i do not sing on this Thanksgiving spring
Wet
dreary
Lonely
The turkey is not on my table
No one is passing the cranberry
A silent gasp as the holidays pass
My voice is not up to the challenge 
Of trying to rejoice with sweet verses I cannot 
bring myself to interpret
Maybe,
This Christmas,
I repeat,
Maybe
