Peaceful, Easy Groove
No big production
Picked up pre-cooked pig and bird
Whipping up fixings
Laid-back Thanksgiving
Foregoing the flusterings
Keeping it simpler
Peaceful, easy groove
More time spent with each other
Less fussing with food
Jigsaw puzzle out
For quiet moment seekers
Introvert’s delight
Front porch loveseats spiffed
Coffee tables ready for
folks to sit and chat
This is how Sundays
Used to be in the old days
Families gathered
Big-table dinner
Then they branched off to play cards
Gossip over tea
No conversations
About hot-button issues
That dampen spirits
So light up the tree
“Hey, Google! Play some music.”
Pour a glass of wine
Let the dogs outside
Play fetch and take a short walk
Eat buttermilk pie
Happy Thanksgiving
From the Johnson Funny Farm
May your days be blessed!
