It’s true we live in stressful times
What dominates the public scene
Proceedings probing Trump’s impeaching
Thirteen million viewers reaching
Damning information gleaned
Plus global threats of wicked times
Our politics have heated hot
Republicans have turned deaf ears
They conjure false conspiracies
Ignoring facts that disagree
To Trump, succumbing out of fear
The Party line, that’s all they’ve got
So why, then, should we thankful be
On this Thanksgiving Day this year?
Be thankful that we each are free
To speak, to vote – that’s you, that’s me
To demonstrate in peace sans fear
These freedoms taken seriously
My gratitude to you is much
Who read my poems on politics
And comment when you’ve what to say
Your comments really make my day
This President is truly sick
He’s poisoned everything he’s touched
In summing up I’d like to say
I’m sure we’ll see a better day
To you dear readers, you my friends:
Thanksgiving joy that knows no end
11/26/19
Happy Thanksgiving to all your readers and their families.
Well said! Happy Thanksgiving!
Dad: I agree wholeheartedly with your comments.
Love,
Mark
