For Thanksgiving we had 'tatas,
|
succotash and rudebagas.
|
Then came turkey from the oven.
|
Broke the wishbone.
|
Covenants were sealed and set.
|
On the losing end of a wishbone,
|
and I won't pretend not to mind.

Christmas Eve we ate at Aunty's.
|
We had some ham glazed with honey.
|
Rolled the Yule log on the fire.
|
Threw the hambone to the dogs and went to bed.

In the morning the weathercock was heard
|
asking what he had learned of the Earth.
|
"Is it a round place with deserts and oceans,
|
housing as many winds as one might wish?"
|
We were standing by the gate.
|
He said, "Oh my, it's getting late!"
|
Then he took off flying to the south
|
with a black snake in his mouth.
|
You can shake it, break it, or glue it whole,
|
but there's no two ways about it with a broke wishbone
|
on the losing end.

For St. Patrick's we had cabbage,
|
corned beef stew, egg salad sandwich.
|
Then came the whiskey from the basement.
|
Danced all night into the dawn,
|
then held our heads.
