GOBBLE, GOBBLE

Gobble, Gobble, screams Mr. Turkey
as he tries to run away.
I don't want to be on your table
on this Happy Thanksgiving Day.

Here's wishing you the best meal ever.  Let's give thanks for all our blessings.  You, I count among my blessings.  Thank you for all your patience and kindness.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to you.
May your food be plentiful,
May family and friends be close too
and may your day be wonderful.

May you feel blessed
with all the things you need
and may you be thankful
in both word and deed.


   I hope your day is fantastic.  What are you thankful for today?

   On days like today, I feel blessed to call you friend.

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.

Mr. T. Speaks V

"Gobble, gobble,"
said Mr. Turkey.
                           "If I color myself gray
                            to look like an elephant
                             maybe you'll go away."

What other colors could a turkey be?  What else can he do to get away?  Have fun writing your own poem today.

Mr. T. Speaks IV

"Goggle. Gobble,"
said Mr. Turkey,
                            "I'll stay out 
                            in all kinds of weathers
                            if you'll let me 
                            keep my feathers."


Sorry this is late, I didn't have internet connection yesterday.  Are you getting ready for the holiday?  What are you doing?  Can you write a poem about that?
