St Charles of Thanksgiving the patron saint of the forgotten holiday presents A Thanksgiving poem, in free verse.
Give me your turkey, your stuffingYour extended family yearning for free foodRefuse thy retail temptationsOn this most holy day of feastingand footballand beer
While today ushers in the great holiday seasonLet us not forget the reason we gather togetherand it’s not for great pricesdeep discountsor doorbusters
Breaking bread with thy familyis rare enough these daysToday is the dayto stop and take a breathand relax
Let not the retailerssteal the reason we gather todayLook around youThese are the people for which you’re shoppingLet it wait until tomorrow
Today is Thanksgiving.
