Banjo's A' Risin'!
A Lakewood Thanksgiving Hymn Parody
We gather together, in Lakewood and elsewhere,
And wonder at changes the new year will bring.
The internet gave us this new information,
But for cyber-salvation? In vain do we sing.
With Fizgerald's new dumpsters, our garbage we gathered,
And placed it on tree lawns, once shady and cool.
In Lakewood's dark winter, we slid it to the curbside.
At least in the summer, those dumpsters'll make pools!
In deepest November, we went to the polls here.
We elected Obama to lead us somehow.
And back here in Lakewood, we feared for our mortgage.
And wondered if those dumpsters will be homes for us now?
We learned about markets, of banks and of bail-outs,
We learned of conspiracy theories galore.
As we feast on the gizzards of shape-shifting lizards,
We wish for Thanksgivings, as in days of yore!
Happy Thanksgiving All!
