Thanksgiving holiday is coming
It is four days a way
I need to figure out
How to make it through this day
It starts with a turkey on the table
As everyone comes and sits down
And the speech of what we are thankful for
Come to mind as I look around
I am sitting with a family
That is not my own
For it is my inlaws
And so far apart we've grown
When it is my turn at the table
Can I really speak my mind
Can I tell them I would be thankful
If they all kissed my big behind
Can I tell them that I am thankful
for finally seeing the light
And knowing that for the New Year
I plan to make it right
Can I tell one member of a couple
That her man smokes at my house
Then goes into the bathroom
And runs toothpaste through his mouth
And then he goes to church
And looks god in the eye
But I know his marriage is based upon
A stupid little lie
Can I smack the lazy, worthless one
Who caused me problems at work
I gave him a job to do
And he abused all of the perks
I tried to give him a chance
And he failed to do the job
He goofed off and took a paycheck
He made me feel like I was robbed
And when take a moment of silence
For those who are not with us today
Can I wink at one at the table
For loving her sister's man before she was in the grave
Can I pull one out of the rocker
Long enough to stuff her face
As she belives that she is so sucessful
As she barley keeps up the pace
Can I tell them that my daughter
Does not like spending time with them
Can I tell them that their son
Is not a good husband or my friend
Can I tell them I am thankful
That this is the last year
That I have to look at them
And pretend I am full of cheer
Can I say the turkey is all dried up
And my patience has run thin
And that I am most thankful for
This last turkey day with them
