    Rose should have put it up higher so the goose couldn’t get it.

    Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

    Childhood Thanksgivings

    At five AM my mother startsTo roast the turkey brownShe wonders as she cooksIf there’s enough to go around

    The china that’s kept out of reachIs brought out for the dayWhile waiting in my Sunday bestI’m careful at my play

    The extra leaf is added onThe tablecloth is spreadThe forks on left, and spoons on rightIs what my mother said

    The relatives start to arriveEach with a little treatAnd finally, at half past 3We all will take a seat

    Adults sit at the table largeUs small ones have our ownWe say we can not wait untilWe all are also grown

    The grown-ups’ wine, kids’ ginger-aleIs poured and passed aboutThe turkey and the fixingsHave all been taken out

    Everything looks wonderfulI’m thinking with a sighWe bow our heads and give our thanksLike Thanksgivings gone by

    And as I sit and think a bitOf Thanksgivings beforeI’m thankful for those gathered hereAnd thankful for much more

    This just reminded me that I hadn’t refilled the bird feeder yet today. Going to do that now…

    Bandusia15That was the one for belated greetings. Do you really think we just celebrated on the fourth Thursday but not November 26?
