On this, our day of giving thanks
It’s not the time for politics
It’s time to join in food and drinks
With family and friends
That’s not to say there won’t be news
Great Uncle gets his jolly kicks
Expressing his extremists views
In speech that never ends
We suffer that ‘though he’s a crank
Thanksgiving comes but once a year
In politics we do give thanks
Our system will not bend
Our institutions remain strong
Grassroots movements far and near
Opposing bills they see as wrong
It is the current trend
So let’s give thanks politically
That we’ve been blessed fantastically
To live in our democracy
But it, on us depends
