| Real Rockwell it was the only real Thanksgiving I've ever had but that's all I really remember how real it was how Normal Rockwell lots of people in sweaters turkey, stuffing, a football game in another room and lots of relatives saying hello though not to me since I was just a guest I just remember some images a couple things, real Rockwell that and the pecan pie and I've had pecan pie since then with ice cream whipped cream coffee, cappuccino, espresso I've had it hot cold at room temperature sometimes it was chewy sometimes the stuff under the nuts was watery I hate when it's like that but it's never been like that Thanksgiving never been real Rockwell sweaters, turkey, a football game in another room it just doesn't taste the same without that stuff around Paul Semel |

They chatted by the river Laughing, joking, telling Outrageous tales, trusting The open-hearted other Two in one, one in two Fused hearts each in each They passed hours to reach The time they bid adieu "O frog, Friend of friends Heart of mine, comfort pillow. We part beneath this willow From where each path wends. Journeys solo yet together We'll meet anew, afresh Our chattering will mesh No matter what the weather" Lanny Fields |
