THANKSGIVING

Butterbees glazing
Wing’d gobblings

Horn of plenty
Our honeyland

Mannah-maestro conducting
Xylophones with silver spoons

Misting maids of ‘mooners
Golden streams of Gilead

Move to Everest
Not that cold

Idaho mountains and valleys
Of beaten snow

Iceberg quakes
Gravyboat overflows

Yellow teeth
Nothing more than gobs

Those kernelly cobs
Piled the highest

Waiting for the final
Black and white whistleblow

Mothers, daughters, aunts can swipe
the sweat from brows and knees

“Pass the taters please”
Now they can’t wait

Touchdown of seats
Plenty to feed

Buzzing of the Autumn game
Pies pack in pounds in overtime

American apple, pecan, Washington 
cherry, rhubarb, Atlanta peach

Pulling silly strings on pants
Enhance the week’s fun run

Go+sh, with the string of 90+ temperatures along with energy-sapping humidity, I really needed to read this one. Hurry up and get here, November! Thanks, Kim.
