Oh, Kibo, there is a swarm of bees outside
So we are gathered inside, shrieking for chocolate
and prodding the turkey.

We give thanks for our blessings
 of OSes that don't crash;
 sneezes that don't splash
 and, look, just leave the turkey alone.
 
Naked and screaming we enter the world,
so I don't see why we shouldn't have an interlude
of that right now just to blow off a little steam.

We give thanks for our blessings
 of kooks that don't drive
 of lids for the hive
 and, see, I've warned you about the turkey.

If you're going to frolic naked in the kitchen
it's probably a good idea not to mess around
with that turkey baster; it's hot.

We give thanks for our blessings
 of contrails of cheese
 of curses that please
 and, put a little ice on it. See, I told you.
 
 No, it's going to hurt for at least fifteen minutes.
 So have some fine wine, or failing that, a bit of
 this old plonk. Feel better? Try to relax.
 
We give thanks for our blessings
 of smuggled cherry Pez
 and a T-shirt that says
 "My other shirt is with stupid!"
 
Is that the police? Crikey, everybody
get your clothes on; turn down the tunes
and for god's sake get that thing out of the Jell-o.
 
 We give thanks for our blessings
  of the head on a beer
  and friends drawing near
  especially those with bail money.
  
Next year we'll remember to invite *all* the neighbors
not just the hawt chyx and d00ds, so at least
the calls will be coming from inside the house.
