Thanks for the Memory
Before British people take the next
step along the political highway,
words of thanks and humble respect
should be paid to those 'kind few'
who have brought us through
along a very bumpy parade.
THEN to consider the future and
with happy heart and truthful voice
British people will have the power to
submit their secret personal choice.

Thanksgiving
Rictameter
syllables 2-4-6-8-10
and return
Goodies
on the platter
some for you and for me
to remember 'Pilgrim Fathers'
on the fourth Thursday of each November
we will party the humble way
soft music we could play
and I'll order
Goodies

Thanksgiving Day
On the fourth Thursday in
November each year,
Americans are of good cheer,
enjoying fine food and wine,
and thinking of a long-ago time,
when the Pilgrim Fathers sailed
in the Mayflower from Plymouth
to America's Massachusetts.
Britain's Captain, 'John Smith',
gave the region its name
~~~New England~~~ and on
every Thanksgiving Day,
Americans enjoy the harvest
both the scene and cuisine.
Our place names are linked
from way back in history...
the seventeenth century being
quite an eventful mystery.

That Great Galaxy Of Fame
Poetic Style: Acrostic.
Did he study for his Doctorate
Or was the degree honrary?
College boy he could have been
The star of all philosophy...
Outstanding and superior
Riding high in the field of knowledge.
Antecedent to a Nobel Prize.
Tomorrow, he may very well be
Entering into the galaxy.
