The turkey, they sacrifice a lot, all those dinners your responsible for, it’s not all doom, the bellies that you fill. the smile on lots of faces, was that From Mr Murphy’s farm, he rears them well, the meat so tender, lets say, thanks to Turkey, they gobble a lot of nice corn, like the lamb that was roasted for Easter dinner. Do we eat at weddings, the roast beef dinner, and the gravy made with the fat ingredients, that warm feeling inside, that makes us feel good all round, lets ignore the dieting, exercise will sort life out, and as for diets, none of them work, that’s why they invent a new one regularly, because they got this into your head, size matters. Don’t tell humph dumpy. Food, and peace, the grain flows, the famine is averted, the rain falls, the seeds sprout, rain, where is my umbrella, stop, without rain we’d all be extinct, what is that they are missing on the planets, looking for water in another galaxy, because you want to find out, where your fella is, while you stare into the phone, or, lets say, a nourishing Christmas first.
Peace on empty stomachs, no general leaves his troops hungry, no population will be content if denied food, it only breaths anger and resentment, the mother holds her screaming child, then the child gets weaker, can no longer even shout, just sits there looking up, mother wonders, will anyone feed me, then they hear later, 30% of the aid gets through, what happened to the other 70%, and we wonder, can they just sort out the wastage first, sharing as they say works, and now, the new leader of the freed people, he has to feed his people, the government is denied access to the capital it needs, because they want someone else to lead the people, what, because, well, its ours, those resources we got at a pinch, now we have to pay a decent price for it, what if it spreads, this mania of thoughtfulness, we’ll have to curb it, this influence, what.
Children in the Christmas mood, they sit around the table, mother brings in the smiling turkey, I’m here says Lester, they called him lester because he was fast on the draw when the food arrived, come on lester, another slice of lester, he is feeding the family, same as a willie mullins good thing. The ham arrives, enter, sammy ham, he used to live near Lester, they always thought they’d live together, bring joy to a family one day, on staGE, i’ll have a slice of sammy too, he goes well with lester says another, food that speaks, it takes over the conversation, stops the anxiety, another roast potato, more gravy, nourishing vegetables, don;t worry, the dali lama won’t mind you eating lester and sammy, he understands food poverty, and the need to remind all, that we can’t ignore it internationally.
The world stops, there is no traffic outside, the air is calm, families are together, they enjoy happy families, they watch movies, they share stories, eating martins pudding and some sweets, its a time to indulge in family, and in this world, what matters more. Then, those, who struggle, too much focus on what is missing, that angst, but society now, deals with the need, but you have to help, you have a happy season, and it sets you up for next year, amen, Thanks Lester for all that joy, and Sammy, if we’d known, we’d have fed you more of that corn, thanks too…
