American holiday of turkey, football,
and Japanese poetry. Wait, what?
9> Relaxing post-feast
The turkey is now serving
In my GI tract
8> Deployed on T-day
Means no fighting relatives
There’s no place like base
7> In the Navy now
You were once behind the bow
Of the Mayflower
6> No holiday break
Death from above continues
Unmanned remote drone
5> Still getting shot at
But damn, I’m thankful that now
I can ask *and* tell
4> Sniping and land mines
Enjoy Thanksgiving back home
With your family
3> On Thanksgiving Day
I’m thankful for your service
Please pass the gravy
2> Flipped Saddam the bird
Kicked the stuffing out of him
The rest is gravy
Not be the best for carving
Turkey’s sure dead, though
