"A Holiday Of Rest"
I love the holiday season
a chance to sleep in
I hate to have to do this but
I have to go home
have a Happy rest of Thanksgiving
mom and dad, I'm sure the nurses
will show you the same affection
just like your family
but I really have to go I have to go
to bed early
I'm getting up at 11 tonight as I have
important places I have to be
I think I'll start at Macy's
jewelry's on sale
then I'll check out the lingerie
at the store next door to Zale's
I know you're getting older folks
but I'm doing this for you
to show my love at Christmas
there's a lot of shopping to do
you see I have to be the first in line
if I hope to get the best
so now it's off to home to bed and to
my Black Friday rest
the holiday's are here again
and thankful I surely am
that I got my bonus check on time
I have something nice in mind
there's the cutest diamond bracelet
I want it really bad
I don't want anyone else to have it
especially my friend Glad
I'm thankful for the stores
that open before dawn
so I can get the things I crave
before they all are gone
So bye bye Mom and Dad
such a blessed day we had
but this is so important not to miss
sacrifices are to be made
so hopefully I'll see you soon again
after all the Christmas day
sales.
Happy Holidays everyone and God bless
P.S. do you have any of those Sears coupons left?

"A Thanksgiving Thank You"
they sailed the ships of brotherhood
bound together with the glue of shared experiences
sails made of courage
held high by common valor
a valor shared by all
through battle after battle
hardships after pain and illness
a mighty fleet they made
a fleet of heroes all
bonded by years of war
and hardship
they were mighty in their bravery
beautiful in the love they held for each other
come through the common battles for freedom
evil reared it's head and nations joined together
in common their hatred of the hate
so many brainwashed peoples shared
misled by their leaders who were the spawn of satan
Hitler, Hirohito, and others who followed them
needed to be smashed and never seen again
their ilk still live but thankfully they scurry in gutters
like the evil vermin they are
those that sailed the ships of freedom
made these ships of brotherhood
bound together by a common goal to set this world free
their sails made of the courage of battle hardened men
men and women who saw the face of evil
and stared it down
stared it down without flinching
by satan Hitler was most certainly possessed
insane as were his kind
Hirohito was God? give me a break
bands of people, brothers and sisters from everywhere
determined to stop these bigoted and grandiose morons
determined to end the killing
and they did
these ships sailed home victorious after saving the world
from the incredible dreams of evil dreamt by bigots and the greedy
funny how war and greed go hand in hand
the bravest and the greatest nations could offer
set the world free and saved nation after nation from more death
the ships of brotherhood contained the hopes of the world
bound together with the glue of love
love for what is right and for each other
uncommon solidarity and courage
unflinching in the face of evil
are just part of what make our parents part of the greatest generation
