A Scattering of TYs at Thanksgiving

       Thanks to the Lord, mankind has thrived this long;
       Humans now number seven billion strong,
       And the seven billionth is a Pinay-
       Named Danica Mae, a healthy Inday!
       Knowledge and skills (not Wisdom) have increased;
       Sadly, wars and cruelty have not ceased.
       God, Thanks for Your Bounty, Your Wondrous Gifts,
       In spite of our frailties and bloody rifts...
      Viruses and contagion at the mall..?
       I might as well make a safe seaside call;
      Now, by the sea, I'm as hale as a whale.
      God, Thank You for Your fresh air I inhale!
