@hamburgboy,
Get the sauceboat ready,
Thanksgiving turkey is done,
Who'll do the carving?

@firefly,
Who'll do the carving?
Do you trust me with a bird?
You won't regret it.

@Dutchy,
You won't regret it.
Your investment will be paid
back in horsefeathers.

Back in horsefeathers.
You are indeed generous,
can you afford it?

Through one endless night.

Through one endless night
Insomnia kept me up,
Lord, please let me sleep!

@firefly,
Lord, please let me sleep!
Just before I drift to sleep,
wonder what I'll dream.

@Dutchy,
**For those who feel that last line of firefly's, and it does make one sympathise with anyone who says it so achingly, here is a little quote from Francois Rabelais--

"Then came the hour when sleep,the Heavens' gift,
Comes graciously to greet weary mankind."

Anybody who runs that through their soft-pillowed heads with the various intonations of a hypnotist will soon be spark out.

It's in the dream stuff, which Freud made such a mess of, in Book Three, Chapter 14. It is quite amusing. And as scholarly as modern scholars are unable to match.

wonder what I'll dream.
I know! Under summer appleboughs
I collect gold coins

@spendius,
You match it perfectly spendi. Cool

I collect gold coins.
Collecting nectar from blooms,
eating honey pods.

Eating honey pods
From the honey locust trees
Was a Native food

Dinner, two old friends become
lovers entangled.

Lovers entangled
on the shoulders of giants
and golden edges

Framed her portrait perfectly

Above the mantel.
The astounding wealth we haven,
it’s really nothing.

@Dutchy,
It's really nothing
like falling leaves and sunshine
in an autumn breeze.

@laughoutlood,
in an autumn breeze.
The soothing rain, a bright flash,
the dark sky grumbles.

The dark sky grumbles,
thunder sounds the base for the
roaring winds of time.

Roaring winds of time
Blew out my birthday candles

@firefly,
When I turned ninety
I woke with disbelief to
find such age so soon.

@ossobuco,
find such ago so soon.
The vast wisdom of old age,
but is it worth it?
