Thanksgiving is not a religious holiday, but all the songs are essentially hymns. This one's for the atheists. And because I live in Los Angeles, it's about that too.
We All Arrived Here
(sung to the tune of "We Gather Together")
We all arrived here without any Hosannas
We basted, test-tasted our Thanksgiving fare
The
wicked winds blowing, they’re called the Santa Anas
But
we are all safe, and with nary a prayer.
Beside
us to guide us, was Waze at our service
Through
bad LA traffic it found the right way
The SIG
alert gridlock, it sure made us nervous
Thanks
to Google we are here drinking good chardonnay
Now
all praise the potluck – it’s made without dairy
The
gluten-free stuffing is sure to be grand.
A
village it takes, not friends imaginary
We
all deserve credit, cause nothing was canned.
