A Silly Thanksgiving Poem


Happy Thanksgiving! 

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. We get to eat a lot of great food. 

Better than that, we can be thankful for all the good things in our lives. When we add those things up, there's a lot to be thankful for. 

This all sounds pretty serious, doesn't it?

Of course Thanksgiving also has its fun side, which we can celebrate with a Silly Thanksgiving Poem.

Write a poem that tells about the fun, light side of the holiday at your house. Here's mine. How about yours? 


A Thanksgiving Count-Up

One, two, three fours.
Pumpkin pie comes through the doors. 

Five, six, seven, eights.
Put out the best dinner plates. 

Nine, ten, eleven, twelves.
Where are Santa's helper elves?

Oops! Wrong holiday! 

Nine, ten, eleven, twelves.
Place the salads on the shelves.

Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteens.
 A basket full of jelly beans.

Arrghh. Not again!

Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteens.
Is it time for Halloweens?

Back to Thanksgiving!

Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteens.
 Do we have to eat the greens? 

Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty.
Thanks for all we have in plenty!
