a corny thanksgiving poem 2018

A Poem by Zatoichi
"

feelin' sentimental

"

i am thankful for home and health,

warmth and comfort,

friends and family,

the car's still runnin',

the sun

and the moon at noon on a winter day

and the way you make me smile.


four years later i am thankful for the changes;

often thankful for the faith to call upon the name

of One Whose Name is Unpronounceable

for the wisdom to live with what those changes have wrought.


for continued home and health,

warmth and comfort,

friends and family still present; and i am thankful to have known those who precede me in slumber.


i got a new car and it's still runnin',

the sun

and the moon still appear together from time-to-time

and the thought of you still makes me smile.


2014 now and much has changed while much remains the same.

Melancholy still plagues my mind from time-to-time, and gratitude is still the only effective cure. 

The pure light of reason and a full pantry keep me from flight and the inevitable fall. All-in-all, I cling to my blessings and sing Hashem Yehoshuah to all the loves I've known; 

for all the joys lived and lessons learned along the way. 


It's now near Thanksgiving 2020 and the whole world is as seen through foggy glasses and inhalers. The air is pungent with tears and gasses and there is virus everywhere.

and i'm thankful you asked for my words
is this the closest we get to bliss

I'm thankful for Prozac, Valium and Xanax
for drunk pretty girls who want to have sex
I'm thankful for callouses on guitar fingers
for the scent on the perfumed pillow that lingers
Thankful for take out pizza and beer
and most of all thankful that I'm still here

I am thankful for good friends that never leave too soon,
drunk, pissed off Catholics at all my family functions,
and the way you put words together like your being paid to do it.
