E. E. Cummings - THANKSGIVING (1956) lyrics

a monstering horror swallows this unworld me by you as the god of our fathers' fathers bows to a which that walks like a who but the voice-with-a-smile of democracy announces night & day "all poor little people that want to be free just trust in the u s a" suddenly uprose hungary and she gave a terrible cry "no slave's unlife shall murder me for i will freely die" she cried so high thermopylae heard her and marathon and all prehuman history and finally The UN "be quiet little hungary and do as you are bid a good kind bear is angary we fear for the quo pro quid" uncle sam shrugs his pretty pink shoulders you know how and he twitches a liberal titty and lisps "i'm busy right now" so rah-rah-rah- democracy let's all be thankful as hell and bury the statue of liberty (because it begins to smell)
