Subject: RE: BS: stuff heard round the thanksgiving table
I'll eat to that
a worthwhile rewrite:
Now a year later we're all down at Dave's
and in truth he does live in a cave
I now see we all should give thanks
to the kooks and the cranks
who are willing to give change a try.
Uncle Dave doesn't just rave
In fact he seems hard working and brave
For to live in a cave
even though its manmade
is efficient and pleasant for all.
Instead of mowing his roof
he plants food he now sells from a booth
This year he made some "Itswine Juice"
Its really from grapes grown all over the place
but I swear it tastes like fine wine.
Uncle Dave's kettle is boiling away
fragrant and mellow it is made of a metal
from 30 WW II gun barrels
If you ask me, it is you and not he
who made a mistake where to settle.
Uncle Dave's trees make great apple pie
from the rich soil and gifts from the sky
We asked for the recipe and he replied
"You will be fine if you just take your time
to see everything clearly, in your mind's eye."
So with glasses on high lets give change a try
and toast all our relations with love among nations
and ask Aunt Sally to say grace
"Thank you for this great apple pie which is dinner I'm supposin'…
cuz Uncle Dave's drunk and the bird is still frozen".
