Thanksgiving gobbledygook

Thanksgiving gobbledygook The following anecdote baste upon overactive imagination of mine in sync with being married and monogamously living socially chaste life as a scrupulous anchorite, whose weather beaten corporeal flesh plus sabotaged, riddled, and tuckered psyche effaced after becoming adequately stuffed, this turkey (in the straw) then flapped his trussed wings (at the speed of sound) if listening closely echoes refrains from Amazing Grace, (which words reflections of John Newton, a slave trader who nearly died in a shipwreck, and who eventually became a minister. after which he penned the famous words of "Amazing Grace" for a sermon for his 1773 New Year's service at the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul) unable to escape ill fate of mine i.e. being analogous to cooked goose subsequently found him interlaced with various and sundry other dead animals fixed to be mounted (courtesy a taxidermist) on a wall. The holiday dates back to November 1621, when the newly arrived Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians gathered at Plymouth for an autumn harvest feast, an event regarded as America's “first Thanksgiving.” Ever since then throve, a commercialization, commodification, commination and communication war, where many a big box department store large-scale buildings of more than 50,000 square feet, the store is usually plainly designed and often resembles a large box for example Walmart, Home Depot, Tesco, and Ikea are examples of big-box retailers, but never forget warehouse clubs such as Costco and BJ's considered the original kind of big-box retailers nevermore to witness mom and pop businesses (small business entities that thrive independently and spurred pick/pull yourself up by bootstraps guild den age, or family-owned) hardcore bricks and mortar outfits prominent during pre industrial high societies, when love's labour's lost venerated, serenaded, and promenaded like The School of Scandal of trysts, buzzfeeding the literati with tantalizing amour.
