Carol of the Backup Beepers

Two fire trucks
Backing into the fire station
Each at their own pace
Their backup beepers
At perfect pitch —
Synchronous to start
Slipping out of phase
And into a perfect
Syncopation
In a performance worthy of
Phillip Glass

On the first day of Thanksgiving …

🎶 On the first day of Thanksgiving, my true love gave to me… 🎶
Oh, wait.
That’s not it.
I knew there was a reason I avoid listening to Christmas music until AFTER Thanksgiving.

(Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 )
