A Thanksgiving Poem

Limestone.
Granite.
Marble.
Iron and other metals.
Wood.
Wool.
Cotton.
Cows.
Pigs.
Fowl.
Fish.
Wheat.
Corn.
Potatoes.
Oranges.
Apples.
All kinds of fruits and vegetables.
Nuts.
The coffee plant.
Black tea.
Plants that can be fermented producing alcohol.

This is the list that Larry Auster at the View From the Right posted in his entry "Thanks, Universe."

This is the email I sent him:
Larry, I hope you had some of these on this day.

It was the "oranges and apples" that made realize the beauty of your poem. I try to have one or the other each day, otherwise it doesn't "feel right."

Also your period after each element shows its independent importance.

Well done!

Happy Thanksgiving.
