Thanksgiving is on its way, and someone at your table will be asked to say a few words.

Say something worth the clink.

Type a few true details about the people at the table and get a toast in five beats - or paste your own draft and find out what to cut. Every line is timed at a relaxed speaking pace, and the toast is drawn as a layer cake against your target: open, story, bridge, thanks, raise. Water, juice or anything else in the glass counts just the same.
