Thanksgiving When I Was A Kid
Turkey's in the oven...and,
...the kitchen's smelling good...
I'd sneak a taste of somethin'...if,
...I somehow thought I could!
But, Grandma's in there watchin',
...to keep my hands away...
Yes, the turkey's in there cookin' cause,
...it's another Turkey Day!
I'd like to be the very first,
...in there to fill my plate...
But...I can hear my mama say,
..."you kids will have to wait!"
Then Dad will say, "let's bow our heads,
...be thankful for God's blessing"...
I will...but I'll be thinkin' 'bout,
...that delicious turkey dressing!
So...if you're comin'...hurry,
...that's 'bout all I can say!
'Cause that ol' Bird sure won't last long,
...at our house Turkey Day!

Still the same at our house on Thanksgiving Day...but I am a little
older!
