Thanksgiving Day Cheerios

Tomorrow we will eat turkey
Hopefully moist
Some deep fried, hello the South
But either way, we will eat, enjoy and rejoice
With turkey, perhaps ham, roast beef
And, uh, chitterlings – yeah, you know how some families do
But we will eat, sharing old time stories, bonding
Both family and friends
All of us getting fat for at least one day
Which is why it’s called Thanksgiving Day
One day out of 365 days
A day of giving
But I have a beef with one day
For how can we be truly fulfilled if we’re only truly festive,
Giving, spirited, joyous on one day?
Not so, the mind naturally says because of Christmas and Easter and New Year’s and the Fourth of July
But no day is like Thanksgiving, no day because it brings about a bond that is missing too many other days throughout the year
A bond that should be there more
Family meals, you know, say on a weekly basis
Where kids and parents, regardless of outside activities, work requirement, sit and deat and bond and be cheerio bowl together
What our country, our world needs
More bonding, move loving, more understanding
More than just one day that is considered Thanksgiving.
