Utica Thanksgiving

In those famous Utica nights-
Friends and family gathered for the holiday;
Oakley and Patrick dominating the television;
Who did help Grampa carve the turkey?
Was it Cousin Ron, Chopin at large,
or was it you, with your teasing-thought-for-the-day smirk?
I'll bet it was you,
Grampa laughing at a near miss,
Relatives eyeing the cranberry,
And poor Ron fumbling his way back to the piano.

Somebody has been chompin at the Chopin and I am thinking it was with a twist.

Ron could just as easily been from Palem- in fact he could have been living upstairs with Sean when he was smoking pot and nanny was collecting garbage ties.

Ed Norton wasn't that great in American x
