Thanksgiving Day

Turkey day is finally here, along with that mid-afternoon paralysis Half the family made it this year, and thank God, 'cause we're short chairs! Apple, pumpkin, and mince-meat pies fill the air with cinnamon dust-devils Nevermind the barking dogs and screaming, running and tattling kids, Kooky and drunk, your favorite uncle swears you can light a fart! Surely we've got BIGGER fish to fry today.....how's them 'taters doin'? Goodness knows how amazing Granny's poultry gravy is gonna be I just hope some jerk doesn't bring that Jello with raisins, carrots, and lettuce......YUCK!!!! Vodka is easily hidden in the various holiday beverages, I swear it's the ONLY way I can tolerate half of my family! No one's really that bad, but a little goes a long way! God bless every single, dysfunctional, and oblivious one of us! Dinner comes and goes........the herd migrates to the TV for pig-skin dramas All say their goodbyes and don coats and scarves YIPPE!!! They're all gone!!!......oh crap!!!! WHO'S gonna help with the dishes???? jim david
