Thanks for Giving

All right, then, it's you and me
then, isn't it? I went ahead and
baked your favourite pumpkin pie;
you replaced the rotted window sills.
Yesterday I made the cranberry
sauce, just the way you like it. And
you, of course, finished replacing the
exterior window frames. This
afternoon the half-turkey, frozen
since its mirror-half fed us at
Christmas was defrosted, seasoned
and popped into the oven. You
sanded down the new window frames
and the flaked paint on the old frames.
I made certain the potatoes would
roast in the turkey juices, just as
you asked for. You, of course, cleaned
the window glass then applied the base
coat paint. The fresh vegetable
salad is done, the table is set.
Are you coming in for dinner?
