Happy Thanksgiving

 

Let's repost my one Thanksgiving poem "Hand Turkey Jesus!"

Happy Thanksgiving (no really)!

 

Once again I repost my one Thanksgivng poem "Hand Turkey Jesus!"

Happy Thanksgiving

Me when they tell me to enjoy Thanksgiving and take some time off for myself.

What Should I Do This Thanksgiving?

a. Write a sequel to my "Hand Turkey Jesus" poem?

b. Watch Scarface and write a poem about trying to be an incel who watches 

     Scarface on Thanksgiving?

c. Write that "Resovoir Dogs Jesus poem like been threatening to write for years?

d. Yes.

Wrong answers only!

Yes!

Finding a Tofurkey with gravy in a store other than Whole Foods is an amazing victory. 

 

Wanted!

Mom asked me to make something to let the family know not to feed Twig.

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Here's my annual reposting of "Hand Turkey Jesus!"

A Twig Holiday Moment

When you hold off on throwing the ball because you want to photograph that rare moment when both ears are up...and he knows what you're doing and why!

Thanksgiving Memories

Here's my old video from nearly a decade ago. So many people in this footage are either no longer alive or won't be at my Mom's house this Thanksgiving. In spite of everything that's happened these past two years, I hope you have the opportunity to experience some kind of joy today.

Happy Thanksgiving

Not a Thanksgiving Flashback

 

 

This is just me in a souvenir pilgrim's hat I bought in Plymouth during a reading I performed in 2019. Look, I was trying to enjoy myself, I wanted to make the people I dragged with me laugh, it was over two years ago, we were all feeling subconscious white privilege and I just wanted to do my impression of Kane from Poltergeist II, okay?!?

SAFE DISTANCE EDITION - Stone Soup Croutons, 11-25-20: Thanksgiving Wars (News from the Front)

Stone Soup Croutons is a weekly poem I write using lines and impressions picked from Stone Soup Poetry's open mic readers and features. I figure out a title (and sometimes the rest of the poem) later. You can read the other ones I've done since 2015 here.

I also have a book out now collecting the best of my first year of poems. Click here to purchase it.

Stone Soup gathered the night before Thanksgiving. It was a fun night, much needed before the holiday stress of the past 24 hours. My own Thanksgiving went off without a hitch. The night before, however, I was fueled with the words from various people in the superspreader movement declaring war on safety and public health. That no doubt fueled my thought. Then there was all the talk about Hitler and death on the mic. I'm sure that helped. In a good way. Really. 

 

Warning: This poem is going to sound a bit like my other crouton poem, "Fish on a Bicycle Pulpit" from my new book. Mostly because Bil Lewis read my poem as part of the open mic and I didn't realize it until he finished. Thanks to Bil for buying my book, and thanks to you for reading. Hope you enjoyed your time yesterday.
