The Day After Thanksgiving

OK. Here is a draft of the poem I mentioned yesterday.  I've been having fun thinking about this one all day yesterday and last night.  Here is what I came up with.

All of the animals

on the farm

have Thanksgiving dinner

in the barn.

But before they chow-down

for their meal,

each of them mentions

how thankful they feel.

The horse neighs he's thankful

for his bucket of oats.

The sheep baa thanks

for their warm wooly coats.

The ducks give their thanks

and especially the drake

with the geese and the goslings

for an unfrozen lake.

The dog says he's thankful

for treats when he begs.

The chickens are thankful

they're still laying eggs.

The pig oinks, he is thankful

for his muddy sty

and for the scraps 

of uneaten pie.

The cow says she is thankful

for cream with a moo,

and they all want to know

if you're thankful too.

    Have a fun day after Thanksgiving, and if the muse strikes you, write your own poem to share with us.
Suggestions on this draft of a poem are very welcome.
