Thanksgiving Day Sans Something
Captain John Smith is retired now
he hides in the phone book
among many John Smiths
just like him
He never married Pocahontas
because that takes the fun
out of raping heathens
that wear pretty jewels
far away from home
it is more exotic
without marital
consent
Walt Disney wants the story line to be
always as wholesome as possible
from his liquid nitrogen throne
he changes history the way
a pilgrim never had to
their rhythm was so
natural that their
race would be
pure forever
this corn is so hybrid it makes injuns sick
ain't that a kick in the pants with a
dirty moccasin foot
ha ha ha
this pumpkin pie
is frozen like
Uncle Walt's
head
it is not made from scratch
like mom used to bake
this turkey has tryptophan
enhanced by Afghan opium poppies
so the next tax cut will help defense spending
along with the black market promises that were made
to guarantee a slower escalation before Christmas
so we can all see those reruns of the halftime show
that were animated back in the sixties when
Suess was still a doctor trying to fix the
broken hearts and warped minds of scared children
he retired a broken hearted man with a warped rhyme
Pocahontas only gets married in animation
in real life she is on a res waiting for a casino check
that has nothing to do with
what John Smith did to her
or pilgrims sharing
blankets of a dying
fever
She cries when Burl Ives sings along
to his banjo by the by
remember,
your purchasing power is necessary this Friday
to start the chorus out right
"every little thing is gonna be all..."
quickly changing into
"I gave you everything I got for a lil' piece of mind"
there are many many pieces on this occasion
but, no one seems to mind
even the soup kitchens
are full of festive
movie stars
the pilgrims knew
these are savages and we must make it through this winter
no matter what
god spoke that day in a verse
of pox and cannon fire
it is all so convenient now
let the parade
begin
