Hungry for Some Fun Thanksgiving Poetry?

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I would like to take this time to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you all get to spend the holiday with friends, family and/or loved ones. This year I found some of the cutest Thanksgiving poems out there that I've never seen before...like this one from Grandpa Tucker:

PUM-PUM PUM-PUM PUMPKIN PIE

I like turkey-the dressing's cool With potatoes round a gravy pool, The thing that really makes me sigh Is pum-pum, pum-pum, pumpkin pie! When it is Thanksgiving Day Aunt Edna comes from far away. I kiss her cheek, it makes her cry, I do it all for pumpkin pie. Oh! Pum-pum, pum-pum, pumpkin pie! The tables set, I bow my head, Then my private prayer is said, "Thanks for your blessing from on high, This pum-pum, pum-pum, pumpkin pie!" The time is close, I start to stutter And stick my finger in the butter. As mom asks, "Now?" "Oh! Yeah!" I cry, "A big HIGH FIVE for pumpkin pie! Yes!!! Pum-pum, pum-pum, pumpkin pie!"

This one is certainly unique, and quite funny!:

A THANKSGIVING THOUGHT

By Bobbi Katz

The day I give thanks for having a nose Is Thanksgiving Day, for do you suppose That Thanksgiving dinner would taste as good If you couldn't smell it? I don't think it would. Could apple pie baking---turkey that's basting Not be for the smelling? Just be for tasting? It's a cranberry-cinnamon-onion bouquet! Be thankful for noses on Thanksgiving Day.

You can also find a bunch of Thanksgiving poems written by kids in the "acrostic" style at http://www.kidpub.org/kidpub/schools/cen...

T is for turkey that sits on my plate. H is for happiness I share with my family. A is for apple crisp. N is for the nuts we roast on the fire. K is for the kiss my mom gives me at night. S is for sins that are forgiven G is for great tasting pies. I is for ice cream that goes with the pie. V is for very good friends. I is for the Indians that gave us our corn. N is for November the month this day is in. G is for the games we play after we eat.

-Robbie Aheart, age 9

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! I'd tell you not to eat too much, but what would be the point???! Take care and have a safe and happy holiday.
