A little thansgiving adventure
Twas three o’clock my work was done as I prepared to leave.
And make my way to hearth and home on this Thanksgiving Eve.
I made my way to the upper floor and found I had to stop.
And check the wares of a business fresh; a new hot pepper shop.
I looked around at all there wares of all that you could want.
I tried salsas, sauces and pepper jams each more and more piquant.
But the peach and jabanjero made me say,“we have a winner.
I’ll take this pepper jelly home for our Thanksgiving dinner.”
Then on my arrival home my wife said “Look, you slacker.
This is fine hot pepper jam, but you forgot the crackers!”
“No fear, my love, do not despair some crackers I can get.
There is a little corner store and they’re still open yet.”
I donned my coat, made for the door, my lovely darling smiled,
“I’ll go two blocks and get a box I won’t be but a while.”
The store was open, in I went, and then what do I see?
Every shelf in the corner store was completely cracker free.
I searched high, and I searched low. I walked up aisle and down.
I searched the store thrice over but no crackers could be found.
My head hung low, as I despaired a-wondering what to do.
I left the store and thought myself in a sorry little stew.
But, then I had a clever thought and did a little fun dance.
“The midtown global market should have crackers in abundance.”
And there I was with spirits high a cheery tune I hummed,
But half the stores in the market square were shut tight as a drum.
Will this tale have a moral? A lesson as from Aesop?
The only crackers I could find were in a pricy cheese shop.
Again, I gave way to despair, a sorry man was I
But then I turned a corner and what did I espy?
A glowing light, a single note from angel choir was sung
A four foot rack with several kinds of crackers neatly hung
I made my choice, and paid the bill, and went home in a hurry
To find my agitated wife her eyes were wide with worry.
She kissed my cheek and said to me “If you go out alone
At this hour after dark, please don’t forget your phone.”
