THE ANIMALS GIVE THANKS

Thanks said the elephant
eating his grass.
Thanks said the rhino
as he wandered past.

Thanks said the giraffe
munching on leaves.
Thanks said the monkey
swinging through trees.

Thanks said the lion
as he strolled on his way.
We're glad we're not turkeys
on Thanksgiving Day.


    I hope you have a great Thanksgiving with lots to be thankful for.  Can you write a poem for a friend today?  Have fun writing.

    1. Do you think javelinas are glad they aren't turkeys, or are they just glad there were halloween pumpkins let out?

    1. These are all African animals and Thanksgiving isn't celebrated in Africa. But I'm sure lots of animals are glad they aren't turkeys. I wonder if we'd still be eating turkey is Ben Franklin had gotten the turkey to be our national bird.
