Some Popular Thanksgiving Poems
Turkey Warning
Tell me, Mr. Turkey,
Don't you feel afraid
When you hear us talking
'Bout the plans we've made?
Can't you hear us telling
How we're going to eat
Cranberries and stuffing
With our turkey meat?
Turkey, heed my warning:
Better fly away;
Or you will be sorry
On Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving Prayer
I知 thankful for my mother, and
I知 thankful for my dad.
I知 thankful for my sisters, and
For all the fun we致e had.
I知 thankful for my brother, Tom,
(Even when he痴 jerky.)
But most of all, I知 oh-so-thankful
Not to be a turkey.

Albuquerque Turkey
Albuquerque he's my turkey
Oh he's feathered and he's fine
He wobbles and he gobbles
And I'm awfully glad he's mine.
He's the best pet
You could ever get.
Better than a dog or cat.
Albuquerque he's my turkey
And I'm awfully glad of that.
Albuquerque he's my turkey
He's so cozy in his bed
Because for Thanksgiving dinner
We had scrambled eggs instead.

N is for neighbors, across the street, over the sea
G is for giving of myself to make a better me

Thanksgiving
The year has turned its circle,
The seasons come and go.
The harvest all is gathered in
And chilly north winds blow.
Orchards have shared their treasures,
The fields, their yellow grain,
So open wide the doorway ---
Thanksgiving comes again!
- Old Rhyme
