| Post subject: | Thanksgiving day grace |
Thanksgiving day Uncle Dave was our guest Who reads the Progressive which makes him depressed We asked Uncle Dave if he'd like to say grace A dark desolation crept over his face Thanks he began as he gazed at his knife To poor Mr. Turkey for living his life All crowded and cramped in a great metal shed Where life was a drag then they cut off his head Thanks he went on for the grapes in my wine Picked by sick women of seventy nine Scramb'ling all morning for bunch after bunch Then brushing the pesticide off of their lunch Thanks for the stuffing all heaped on my fork Shiny with sausage descended from pork I think of the trucks full of pigs that I see And can't help imagine what they think of me Continuing, I'd like to thank if you please Our salad bowl hacked out of tropical trees And for this mahogany table and chair We thank all the jungles that used to be there For cream in our coffee and milk in our mugs We thank all the cows full of hormones and drugs Whose calves are removed at a very young age And force-fed as veal in a miniscule cage Oh thanks for the furnace that heats up these rooms And thanks for the rich fossil fuel it consumes corrupting the atmosphere ounce after ounce But we're warm and toasty and that is what counts I'm grateful he said for these clothes on my back Lovely and comfy and cheap off the rack Fashioned in warehouses noisy and cold In China by seamstresses seven years old And thanks for my silverware setting that shines In mem'ry of miners who died in the mines Worn down by the shov'ling of tailings in piles Whose runoff destroys all the rivers for miles We thank the reactors for our chandelier Although the plutonium won't disappear For hundreds of decades it still will be there But a few more Chernobyls and who's gonna care? Sighed Uncle Dave tho there's more to be told The wine's getting warm and the bird's getting cold And with that he sat down as he mumbled again Thank you for everything, amen We felt so guilty when he was all thru It seemed there was one of two things we could do Live without food in the nude in a cave Or next year have someone say grace besides Dave --- |
