It is a speed bump holiday
Turkey-sandwiched between a rock and hard place.
This relentless seasonal prerequisite,
Once more ceremoniously defined and defiled,
Heralding the time to sell, sell, sell,
Or buy, buy, buy!
A picture perfect to trigger reflex mass consumption,
Promises of bigger and better things to come,
And if you happen by the store on your way home,
Don’t forget the cool whip for the pumpkin pie!
A contemporary truism largely embraced and smothered with smiles and occasional bandages and bloody noses when the doors open. Very close to my "bugle" blast for charge...(just posted).
If we look on the good side, all that conspicuous consumption will supposedly jumpstart the economy and we'll all have a better 2014 to be thankful for.
As though we could buy happiness. A good one reminding us of how misguided we have become.
THANKSGIVING is suppose to be - A Time To Focus on Family and To Be Thankful - that's a real Thanksgiving but U R right sadly it does not always turn out that way.
Have a "HAPPY THANKSGIVING" anyway!!

Pilgrims whims, shimmy shims pass the musket gobble gobble good, nothing says Thanksgiving like a vernal wood filled with wild Turkey, yippee ki yay! Then again, there's always Wal-Mart.
