THANKFUL
A turkey disguised as a reindeer Week before Thanksgiving,
I limp around real strange.
Huddle in the corner,
As though I have the mange.

All the other turkeys,
Just gobble, gobble on.
I’m silent, and I act
As if my gobbler’s gone.
Everyone is thankful
On Thanksgiving Day.
Friday it’s forgotten.
You all go on your way.

I know what thankful is
So listen when I say.
"It’s great to be a turkey,
After Thanksgiving Day."

Your Thankful Poem
What time is this we ask of you?
A harvest full of food.
To share with all who gather near,
and a thankfulness of mood.
What time is this? You ask of me,
Why, it's time for smells of mince meat
And pumpking pies wafting on the air
From Grandma's kitchen over there.

Time to reminisce of things that we have done
Since this time, way last year, when
Once again we gathered 'round the table
With folks we love and who love us.R.A. Dawson

Like the Turkey says
I know what thankful is
So listen when I say.
"It’s great to be a alive
anotherThanksgiving Day." Dorian
For the hay and the corn and the wheat that is reaped,
For the labor well done, and the barns that are heaped,
For the sun and the dew and the sweet honeycomb,
For the rose and the song and the harvest brought home.
For the trade and the skill and the wealth in our land,
For the cunning and strength of the workingman's hand,
For the good that our artists and poets have taught,
For the friendship that hope and affection have brought.
For the homes that with purest affection are blest,
For the season of plenty and well-deserved rest,
For our country extending from sea unto sea;
The land that is known as the "Land of the Free".
The Pilgrims came across the sea,
And never thought of you and me;
And yet it's very strange the way
We think of them Thanksgiving Day.
--- Annette Wynne (circa 1919)(Thanks to Gary)
Every November we should just remember ...
That the turkey was "almost" our national bird ....
And not until the final votes had been counted ---
Did the turkey learn ---
That he'd been discounted!
So say what you will ---
The turkey is still ---
A symbol of cooperation and goodwill!
While the bird of prey ---
Well, what he symbolizes --- I'd rather not say!

Now ... I didn't come to defame the eagle's good name ...
Or to infer that he doesn't deserve his high fame ...
But I only ask --- is it quite fair?
That a bird of prey gets such high acclaim ----
While the turkey gets only a bad name?
What did our "almost" national bird ...
Ever do to so deserve ---
Such a negative connotation?
And what does that have to say ---
About the efficacy of one's vocation! -Gary

I think Thanksgiving is alright.
I'm usually doing the dishes that night.
My whole family tries to get together at least for this one time.
We have people coming from all over the place.
We have our Thanksgiving meal at my Grandma's place.

Thanksgiving
is the day a lot of turkeys are scared of some turkeys trying to fake a sickness or act dead
that's really funny when you see them faking death
Some Farmer will try to go bury it
somewhere and right as he gets to the turkey's feathers
it just comes back to life like nothing ever happened and
the farmer probably got so scared
who knows what happened?Stacie
I love to eat turkey
not as much as beef jerkey
I like to watch the football games
just kick back and eat?BooBear
Today is the day,
the turkey must pay,
we throw a feast,
the turkey cries,"oh, what beasts!"
after the meal is done,
I become fat and go on a run! ?G.Drapeau
Thanks to the month November
Thanks for having the peace we give
Thanks for the day we celebrate
and to the turkey that we ate!Gloria S.

Thanksgiving is the time when
the white man started to steal my land.
they started on the east coast and made their way west.
Their dream was manifest destiny.
Their dream came true, except one thing.
I am still here to their disappointment.
To me Thanksgiving is just another day.hounddogg

You're never ever rude.

You try not to make anybody mad.me and her
Fall is here.
Thanksgiving is near.
The leaves are falling to the ground.

My "turkey" this holiday
Will be the very best.
No feathers to pluck, no disturbing the nest.
My "turkey" is made of lentils and rice,
No table "turkey" this year -- since all animals are nice.Valerie
The smell and aroma of turkey makes me happy.
Happy Thanksgiving is the celebration and holiday.
And we all enjoy ourselves chatting with family.
Now we say the prayer for our big meal.
Kids playing and told to be quiet and behave.
"Shh," says the adults as our prayers are told.
Giving thanks for all we are thankful for,
is what this is all about!
Voracious appetites build up as we await serving.
Innovation is the gossip as we all talk amongst ourselves.
Now we eat and have a happy Thanksgiving!
Good byes are said and
the families' happy Thanksgiving
was a wonderful success!.DALLA$ C.B.
Thanksgiving is the time of year,
We feast together with no fear.
We eat turkey and stuffing,
But we're the ones puffing.
Some of us stay skinny and
some stay fat,
With all the food in my stomach,
I can't fit my pants.Marlena
