thanksgiving prep

i'll roast the turkey.

you make

the gravy, and

boil the potatoes.

i'll do the stuffing and

the cranberries,

but the green beans

are in your

court as well as

candied yams, and

pumpkin pie.

one can of whipped

cream should do.

maybe put a selection

of nuts on the table,

some olives,

celery stuffed with cream

cheese

like my mother

used to do.

what are we leaving

out?

oh, yeah.

our pilgrim costumes.

don't forget to wear

your Pocahontas boots,

with a feather in your hair,

and leather

blouse.

i'll be Miles Standish,

with musket at the ready

in case,

before dinner,

you want to fool around.
