Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Imported

My scarf’s from Killarney.
My car’s from Japan.
My glasses - from Denmark
(And not on my plan!)

My shoes are from China
(Which was a surprise).
My baking dish - Portugal,
Sweet for the eyes.

Today is Thanksgiving,
America’s day.
Importing it all
Is America’s way.

Rico Leffanta November 26, 2021 at 10:21 AM Well thought and done! With our $715-billion military budget, we can continue importing everything of value, including the captcha code which is a well-deserved XXX for you! Aloha! Rico

L Milton Hankins November 25, 2021 at 6:46 PM (chuckling) such truth in this little poem, Ilene. I once went into a shop and could find nothing "made in America." We are, indeed, a nation of importers.
