For Thanksgiving we had tatas, succotash, and rutabagas.
|
Then came turkey from the oven, broke the wishbone, covenants were sealed and set.
|
In the morning fish fell from the sky. I would not tell a lie to you.
|
And the black snakes, they turned to rainbow hues.
|
They sprouted wings and flew up to the Moon.
|
The weather cock, he tumbled down from the roof,
|
He announced that the black snakes were especially rude.
|
"Now I got no place to call my home!"
|
With a shrug he turned around and headed down the road.
|
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 ham bone to the dogs and went to bed.
|
In the morning the weather cock returned to share what he had learned from the Earth.
|
"It is a round place with deserts and oceans, housing as many winds as one might wish!"
|
We was 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, no two ways about it with a broke wishbone
|
ON THE LOSING END
|
Shake it, break it, or glue it whole, no two ways about it with a broke wishbone
|
ON THE LOSING END
|
For St. Patrick's we had cabbage, corn beef stew, egg salad sandwich.
|
Then came whiskey from the basement.
|
Danced all night into the dawn and held our heads.
|
In the morning the worms attacked the town, St. Patrick came on down and prayed.
|
He expelled them into the Netherworld, and they were never heard from again.
|
The weather cock returned to roost on top of the roof.
|
"The April winds are near," he said, "I fear they are cruel.
|
But I'll let ya know which way they blow."
|
He looked above and said, "Oh no, the comet has come."
|
On the losing end of a wishbone, and I won't pretend not to mind
|
On the losing end of a wishbone, and I won't pretend not to mind
