"I'm thankful for the victory"
said my relative to the South
"How was your Thanksgiving dinner
with all that crow
in your mouth?"

"You Blues were carved and mashed
and the gravy was The House
We'll redistrict until all of you
are quiet as a mouse"

"Gays will never marry here,
and abortion is on the run
No Massachusetts lawyer
is going to take away
my gun"

Oh, war for The Holidays!
Thought I
Occupation without regret
God works in so many ways
Can he pay off the national debt?

I hung up thankful,
at least Bush is not a King
and there was a little turkey left
though it be a cold, hard
right wing
