The Holiday Thank yous

(a holiday poem for Granny)
I have ... the holiday thank yous
The chicken and dumplings and fried apple pie thank yous
The sit on your couch with my head on your shoulder thank yous
The read the Bible and gospel music thank yous
Sometimes the thank yous can feel like the blues cause life's not the same since He took you
I have... the holiday thank yous
The God don't like ugly and the shut yo mouth blues
The 'come here, gal' and the 'what do you want blues?'
The Price is Right and the Family Feud Blues
Sometimes the 'thank yous' can feel like the 'blues,' but better a 'thank you' than an "I never knew you' blues
I have ...the holiday thank yous
The no good holiday thank you blues
The gimme some lipstick and how do I look blues?
The Corsicana Texas and the Cheneyborro blues
Better a 'memory and a void' than a 'No YOU at all' blues
I have ... the holiday thank yous
The no good holiday thank you blues
