\nAt Thanksgiving we pull out the stopper
\nOn commercialized Christmastime proper:
\nWe’ll have six months to pay,
\nBut stay out of the way
\nOf the stampeding psychotic shopper!<\/p>\n
\nThere is less than a month left, you know,
\nOnly 21 days in a row,
\nBarely 500 hours
\nTo buy yours, mine, and ours,
\n30,000 mere minutes to go!
\n(2007)<\/small><\/p>\n
\n“Merry Christmas!” she crowed, and then smiled,
\nLeaving less seasoned shoppers beguiled.
\n“Now get out of my way
\n‘Cause I don’t have all day
\nAnd I must have that toy for my child!”
\n(2005)<\/small><\/p>\n
\nA fried turkey injected with spice,
\nShrimp-stuffed mirlitons and dirty rice,
\nPecan pie, oyster dressing —
\nHow we rush through the blessing!
\nYes, a Creole Thanksgiving is nice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
