According to Joe
|
Hurry, only 31 more days!
Thanksgiving, what does it mean to me?
A celebration of humanity?
A time to hopefully encourage peace?
To share our bounty with a feast?
But let's not get too teary-eyed.
The holidays have a mercantile side.
Ads demand that we chop chop
And shop and shop and shop and shop.
