Happy Thanksgiving!
Time for football and turkey
and family fights.

---

Great to go back home,
where I spent near eighteen years
plotting my escape.

---

“Everyone should say
what they’re thankful for this year.
Or not, I don’t know.”

---

Three days off from work! 
Oh shit, give me one second.
My boss is calling.

---

The pardoned turkeys 
must spend the rest of their year 
deeply traumatized.

---

Dad just keeps talking, 
as we all think to ourselves, 
please don’t start a fight.

---

Can you pass some pie?
And hold the commentary. 
NO COMMENTARY. 

---

“That wasn’t so bad,” 
My husband lies when we leave.
It was terrible.

---

Was the whole dinner
worth it for the leftovers?
Definitely not.

---

At least with Christmas, 
family time comes with gifts. 
For that, I’m thankful.
