Home for the Holidays

Mother Nature and her prodigal son
Sat down for holiday dinner,
When a surprising find
Came to both their minds:
That neither could recognize the other.
`
“My brightest son where have gone”,
Asked with motherly zeal.
“Nowhere but here!”
With a confident sneer,
Said the dinner guest devouring his meal.
`
The visitor stuffed his belly so full
Until nothing in the house was there to eat.
“You’re just like your Father.
I’m sorry I bothered.”
Said Mother, throwing son out into the street.

Happy Thanksgiving!
