Potchkeing

Many folks are potchkeing* In preparation for Thanksgiving Day tomorrow And the feast that is in store. Soups and stuffing, pies and cakes, Turkey, veggies, yams; Mashed potatoes, corn bread, Sauce of cranberries and hams. Some make everything from scratch, Others order in Or use some combination; Still, the diners score a win. Kith and kin will gather; There’ll be football on T.V. Americans will party With a stuff-your-faces spree. *A Yiddish word for fussing or bothering, pronounced “potch-key-ing.”

I'm all for the pitchkey-potchkeying -- as long as there's no potching! Enjoy, Ilene!

And a marvelous time will be had by all, Ilene. If all goes well, you-know-who won't be mentioned at the table, and there will not be a political free-for-all. Just peace, please!
