albadgerWe've all the makings for Thanksgiving feast!
There's stuffing, gravy, turkey breast (bone in),
Both corn- and soda-bread (we don't need yeast),
And sweet potatoes sliced by mandolin.
But mandolins demand one's focus whole
And pumpkin pie needs whipping cream to whip;
I got distracted by my other goal
And gouged a segment from my fingertip.
But is that not the perfect metaphor?
The central digit of my dexter mitt
Stiff-wrapped in gauze to hide the grisly gore
With fingers curled on either side of it.
A message for this year that seems to linger --
Hey, 2020 -- here's my middle finger!

I should assure readers that no human flesh or blood ended up in the meal.
