thanksgiving blues
tis sorrow now for me to relate
to you my darling, my ever sweet
sad sad sorrow that i must confess
something has come between us
here in this our love nest
for to night i find,
because of this past event
that im unable to make
the passionate love to you
as is my deepest desire to do
another now has my mind
my thoughts, my body held
in torment of regret
that HE is between us this night
that fellow tom that you
with so much care
introduced at dinner this night
Tom, whom you bathed
Tom whom you dressed
weep i would if i could budge
beg your forgiveness
if i could make it to my knees
Tom weighs so heavy upon
my mind, body , soul
as he will fer the next week or so
please my darlin lady
don't take it amiss
if tonight i jus lay and groan
soft and gentle to my self
preoccupied with Tom
maybe in years to come
we can laugh about all of this
about the night
a turkey took its place
in our bed
