GIVING THANKS



Why do da player always 
point his finger to da sky
when he make a touchdown
an' never when he make a fumble?

Cuz it all come from da same Source
it all come from Da Man
an' he give you da fumble
to keep you humble
an' make you a better person

So next time you fumble
point dat finger to da sky
an' don't ask why

An' all dem crazy people
on da sidelines
let 'em boo
cuz you got a special finger
reserved for dem too!

  8. MARGARET: Thanks so much. So far it's only my writing that's hysterical, and not me!

    BJORN: This finger cuts both ways!

    BUBBA: It's a perspective that most have not yet learned to appreciate.

  9. That would be the pointer, pinky or ring finger, right? Sorry, couldn't resist. However, after watching last weekend, I'm pretty sure Hail Mary's are reserved for the end zone. Fun poem!

  10. I do love this. It really is true that the good and the bad all come from the same source. I love your fun poem helping to explain that.

  11. Hahahahaha!! This was wonderful - a delightfully light touch on giving thanks, when it's a subject that often brings heavy ponderings. Thank you, so much, for giving me a chuckle.

  14. COLLEEN: Here's pointing at you (with the nice finger!)

    M.J. Ain't it funny how we call it a Hail Mary? I wonder what Tim Tebow thinks of that.

    RAZAMADAZZLE: And it explains why "bad things happen to good people." (And why good things happen to bad people!)

    VIVCHOOK: And thanks so much for stopping by!

    KAYKUALA: I'm saving it for a special person...don't know who yet! ha ha

    VIVINFRANCE: Giving thanks right back...'tis the season.

  15. __The pompous displays of 'one'... would not have occurred, had they not been conceived.... through efforts of the other 'ten.' _m
