To Hunter S. Thompson

In the style of Burrough's 'Thanksgiving Prayer':

To Hunter S. Thompson in hopes he gets results.

Thanks for the Canadian Mist and

the venison penis, destined

to be shat out of spoiled

American sluts.

Thanks for vacations to squalor

and woe.

Thanks to Indians to provide a

modicum of titillation.

Thanks for the blue gill to

scale and have rot leaving

the tiny bones to prick.

Thanks for Bounty and Viva

and peyote-see.

Thanks for the American dream,

to demonize and to falsify until

the bears(') lie breaks loose.

Thanks for the KKK!

For nigger law men,

thumbing their nines.

For indecent women-hatin' women,

with their whispers, touch,

two faces.

Thanks for Michigan personalized

license plates.

Thanks for lobotomies and AIDS.

Thanks for legalizing it Mom.

Thanks for our neighbors

and friends who could mind their own business.

Thanks for a damaged fallopian tube.

Yes, thanks for all the memories--

all right, put down your arms!

You were always a cash cow and

you were always a whore.

Thanks for the last and greatest

unveil of the last and greatest

of female screams.
