Adrift

Adrift in ponder
Mind in yonder
Still I wander
Far to see
 As once I wandered 
Far to sea
Now  can stay
And yet be free
Adrift in
Winds of Wonder
Free 
With thee.

Turkey Time (For Don Meikle)

White meat or dark, or in between
I don't care, just so it's lean                                                                           
My personal favorite is the wings                            
And gravy made with those gibbly things                    
                                                                  
I also like the" parson's nose"
Not many people would serve you those                                             
Mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie
That's mighty good eatin' my, oh, my
 
With family and friends gathered round
We say a prayer, then all chow down
There's so many cakes and pies and such
It' just soooooo easy to eat too much
 
As the last left-over is put away
I thank everyone for a wonderful day
We should honor the dead, celebrate the living
Don't you wish every day could be...
               THANKSGIVING
