I AM
THANKFUL:
FOR THE
WIFE
WHO
SAYS IT'S HOT DOGS TONIGHT,
BECAUSE
SHE IS HOME WITH ME,
AND NOT
OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE..

WHO IS
ON THE SOFA
BEING A
COUCH POTATO,
BECAUSE
HE IS HOME WITH ME
AND NOT
OUT AT THE BARS.

TEENAGER
WHO IS COMPLAINING
ABOUT DOING DISHES
BECAUSE
IT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME, NOT ON THE STREETS.
FOR THE
TAXES I PAY
BECAUSE
IT MEANS I AM EMPLOYED.

MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY
BECAUSE
IT MEANS I HAVE BEEN SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS.

BECAUSE
IT MEANS I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.FOR MY SHADOW THAT
WATCHES ME WORK BECAUSE
IT MEANS I AM OUT IN THE SUNSHINE

LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING,

THAT NEED CLEANING,
AND
GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING
BECAUSE

FOR ALL
THE COMPLAINING
I HEAR
ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT
BECAUSE
IT MEANS WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH. FOR THE
PARKING SPOT

AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING LOT BECAUSE
IT MEANS I AM CAPABLE OF WALKING AND I

LADY BEHIND ME IN SHUL WHO SINGS OFF KEY
BECAUSE
IT MEANS I CAN
HEAR.

BECAUSE
IT MEANS I AM ALIVE.
