oh, no, I forgot...

All right, just in time for the turkeys and all that jazz, let's see what
people might do with this notion...

In light of the marvelous categories for which you may be vieing (vieing,
vexed, and perplexed?), consider the humble bounty of the Thanksgiving
feast.  The foods, the decorations, the parades, the football, etc.

Now, write us a little scene, explaining where you fit in those
surroundings, and why that makes you the perfect pie for the season,
suitable for being the list cummerbund!

Well, that didn't make much sense.  Try it this way -- what simile,
metaphor, or other consideration might you build, based somewhere in the
Thanksgiving arena, to tell us about you?

Are you the cranberry sauce, sour-sweet accent to help digest the fatty meats?

Or perhaps the salad, tossed apples and nuts, slathered with mayonnaise?

Tell us!

(and to all a GREAT THANKSGIVING!)

"Oh wad some power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us,
An' foolish notion."
     Robert Burns
