Thanksgiving 2016 and I'm Not Happy

“Too many Thanksgivings have informed me. 

Current foolishness – painful to see,

A wannabe thespian,

Realized a dream,

Executive produced,

His one-man show,

Entertainment brash, shock,

Smirk, bloodless gore

Say you love me.

Say you love me.

I love you.

I know your pain.

I’ll take you back,

To times gone by,

When America ignored,

Freedoms denied.

We’ll thrive; you and I

Vote for me; never again cry

I’ll get us there,

Trust my family and me.

Thanksgiving Happy? 

No.

He holds the prize,

Our Nation.

While media reasons

We must be decent 

His show continues

Supporting cast staged.

Velvet curtain frames

Patrons front and center

Audience in the dark

It’s no longer a lark.

Exchange his prize.

Hand leading man the Oscar

And for Heaven’s sake

A resounding Good-Bye. “
