Throw back beautiful wrapped appetizers of pig belly and yard bird livers,
Gobble through grizzly thick thigh skin,
Munch about mounds of fluffy cream mashers,
While gelatinous berry goo and pies of gourds greet greedy tongues.
Stupid stories we teach our young about Pilgrims and Indians show up on cardboard cutouts with brass pins at the movable joints.
Thanksgiving: a pleasant distraction on the way to another awful winter.
