Mission

 

Turn on your oven's fire-

Keep it burning bright

Hold the flame 'til the turkey ignites-

Thanksgiving spirit with a vision

Is a meal with a mission

 

I feel their passionate cooking

Smell the scents

That touch my heart

I gaze at their feverish baking

The secret recipes that set them apart

 

When I smell the powerful aromas

Their oven has made alive

I wish I had that turkey-

And the trimmings and the sides-

 

Turkey's fly on dangerous missions

Their breasts and legs on fire

We're focused high on culinary ambitions

They're consumed in a single sitting

 

In the grip of

A nameless drumstick-

A slave to the drive of the stuffing-

A Thanksgiving dream with a vision

Is a meal with a mission...

 

I watch the oven coils flicker

Bringing light to a lifeless bird

I walk through their beautiful kitchens

And I wish I had their verve

 

But meals don't need

Over-seasoning

To keep their taste alive

Obsession to have cranberry sauce-

Pride demands it be homemade

 

It's warm comfort

To the turkey's not being basted

To know how they made it-

How they must be elated

 

Turkey's lives are not so

Exotic and strange

But they would likely have

Gladly exchanged them

For something a little less hot

In the oven they'd rather be, not

 

They each pay a fabulous price

For our visions of Thanksgiving paradise

While a turkey meal is our mission

It's our dream, not their vision...

Thanksgiving Proclamation

 

 

New York, 3 October 1789

By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation.

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.

Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions-- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.
