What If Thanksgiving Celebrated 365 Days a Year Part I

an earlier draft of this barely satisfactory missive ex post facto, i chomped asper with upper dentures upon evincing a couple of typographical errors, in up rye or draft, and did not wanna dodge being a spell bound stickler for typing words correctly. 

though no obligation to trot out this fixation sans zero misspelling tolerance, a compulsion with any concomitant obsession found me reposting before a repast of dessert - so there Ghost of Marie Antoinette, wherever you might be hiding - i can have my cake and eat it too!

Minus trimmings and over stuffed ego freezers, 
but altruism, civility, Dharma bum ethnocentrism, 
gratuitous homogeneous internationalism, 
karma mosaic opportunism, quitessential righteousness, 
unpretentious vivacious wide world yipping,

brouhaha dutifully emphasizing friendliness, 
antithetically booing critical, popularly pugnacious 
spoiled trump petting uber western yikyak, 
zealous antipathy craving everything. 
---------------------------------------------------------
a hypothetical, mental, rhetorical thought question 
   occurred to me just moments ago
sans, milk of human kindness bubbles frothily 
   upon major American holiday, 

   whereat figurative bro
   thar and sisters exhibit philanthropic 
   good-samaritan charitable ambitions 
   especially, towards indigent that crow
for bare necessities

   other than 
   when Thanksgiving rolls around, and dough
nuts to dollars even most frugal misanthropes 
   play feigned charitable card egoistically glow
with ambient benevolence, civility, 
   diligent energy, and friendly hello

and sundry pleasant greetings 
   hook hood be some 
   soon tubby rich entrepreneurial stranger 
   ready to make shares available vis a vis  IPO
