Novemberfest 5 Recap
People Will Come.
Merritt, people will come Merritt.
They'll come to Phoenix for reasons
they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for
sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as
children, longing for turkey. Of course, we won't mind if you help
yourself, you'll say. It's only a few dollars per person. They'll pass
over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have
and turkey they lack. And they'll walk out to the pool deck; sit in
shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved
drumsticks somewhere on one of the deck chairs, where they ate when they
were children and cheered their turkey heroes. And they'll watch the
turkeys fry and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic peanut
oil. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from
their faces.
People will come Merritt.
The one constant through all the
years, Merritt, has been turkey. America has rolled by like an army of
steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased
again. But turkey has marked the time. This turkey, this fryer: it's a
part of our past, Merritt. It reminds of us of all that once was good
and it could be again.
Oh... people will come Merritt. People will most
definitely come.
