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.

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

Nearly everything you buy now is made in Proc, Sad that similar goods made in our own countries costs twice as much, its a no brainer. Tom

(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.
