Good afternoon/evening, jmacusa, and a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

Hope your tummy is full.

My brother is surprising my Mom, so we will get started in an hour or so.

Dear Ma,

My Head has turned to mush
like the mashed potatoes I had for lunch
the dressing was just so so
a far shot down the scale from my own

Runny squash is not a thrill
no birds around to trill
they — the smart ones took a long flight
which lasted more than overnight

The Apple Pie was a huge wedge
no X Sharp Cheese to give the tongue a squeak
lots of coffee in the urn
dined with daughter full of charm

An elder lady down the hall from me
let out a scream
that scared the pumpkin pie out of me
so this is one day in the life of me
limping around with a bum knee

another daughter made a treat
a fine Finnish Pancake
done to a turn
filled my tummy
with happy memories.

Hee Hee and LOL.
