Thankful

Thanksgiving Day is here once more

And right before we feast,

We all say what we’re thankful for—

A few small things, at least.

I’m thankful for my mom and dad,

My sisters too, I guess.

And all those cookies that I had,

And all their yumminess!

I’m thankful for my goldfish tank,

And all my friends at school,

And all the juice the baby drank,

And how she doesn’t drool.

I’m thankful for the nuts that grow

Right there in our backyard.

I’m thankful that the squirrels don’t throw

Them at me very hard.

I’m thankful for my toys and stuff,

And for my monster shirt.

I’m thankful when the dog says “Ruff!”

And rolls around in dirt!

I’m thankful for my jelly beans,

I’m thankful for the moon.

I’m thankful that Thanksgiving means

It’s Christmas very soon!

I’m thankful for the kind, the brave,

The nice ones young and old,

But mostly for the microwave,

’Cause now my food is cold!
