A Thanksgiving Poem for Modern-Day Realtors

By
Mortgage and Lending

 

 

You can't email a mashed potatoes,
or text a piece of pumpkin pie,
eFaxing a roasted turkey - don't even try!

Just silence your cell phone,
except for sending and receiving holiday wishes.
Savor the software of real living on Thanksgiving,
Eat and enjoy until its time to draw straws for the dishes!

Leave your laptop turned off,
unplug your brain,
and see how much joy an old-fashioned Thanksgiving will bring!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Christopher,

Did you write that yourself?  It's fabulous.  I'm on my way out the door to enjoy the annual Turkey Trot.  A 5K.

 Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Happy Thanksgiving Christopher!

 

T   for time to be together, turkey, talk and tangy weather

H   for harvest stored away, home and hearth and holiday

  for Autumn's frosty art, and abundance in the heart

N   for neighbors and November, nice things, new things to remember

K   for kitchen, kettle's croon, kith and kin expected soon

S   for sizzles, sights and sounds, and something special that abounds

That spells THANKS for joy in living

And a jolly good Thanksgiving.
