New Thanksgiving prayer
Doesn’t skip over last Thursday in November.
…
Pumpkin pie spice
Supports safe fishing in the Gulf.
…
Thankful for the blessings
Mindful of the waist.
…
Pets receive pardon in ongoing
Bargain for table scraps.
…
Partisans unite
Fuel issues with a new perspective.
…
Holiday feast decree
Bypasses raw issues.
…
Mashed potatoes ditch skins
Swim in gravy.
…
Winter weight tariff
Cooks Tim’s goose.
…
Tom turkey hams it up
Dressed on time.
