Thanksgiving
By Breann
It isn’t the time for trick-or-treats
It isn’t the time for costumes and sweets
It is time for mashed potatoes and gravy
It is time for home cooked meals and turkey
Not the time for hearts and chocolates
Not the time for mistletoe and stockings
It’s a time to be happy and thankful
It’s the time to be kind and forgiveful
It’s Thanksgiving be grateful and full of joy
For it’s not christmas so you won’t get a toy
Be grateful for life because you only have one
And watch as we all see the turkey run and run

Five Little Turkeys
By Shaelyn
Five little turkeys, waiting by your door.
One flew off, and there was four.
Four little turkeys, were sitting by your tree
One flew off, and there was three.
Three little turkeys, have nothing to do
One flew off, and there was one.
The last little turkey better run away
because we’re going hunting for Thanksgiving day.

Thanksgiving poem:
By: MADI
They're coming they're coming I wait all day,
But then I can’t wait for them to go away.
We play and play it’s so much fun,
We go out and play and run.
I help them bake ‘till they are done,
We eat ‘till its all gone.
We celebrate every year,
Every year it gets harder to hear.
We get to see family we haven’t in a long time ,
They always leave on the dime.

thanksgiving
by jacob
my family is fun
but the turkey always runs
when the turkey does run
we grab our guns
when we eat all day
we eat until may
before we eat all day
we pray until we found our way
we hope god will bless us
we hope we get to ride the heaven bus
even though we're blessed
we shall not make a mess

My Thanksgiving Poem
by Paul
We lift our call,
And shout to you.
2. Come join our tree,
And I must pay,
Give thanks to me,
On Thanksgiving Day,
3. On this day you cannot steal,
When you get your thanksgiving meal.
by Paul
- When leaves shall fall,
We lift our call,
And shout to you.
2. Come join our tree,
And I must pay,
Give thanks to me,
On Thanksgiving Day,
3. On this day you cannot steal,
When you get your thanksgiving meal.
Thanksgiving Turkey
By Phoenix
Turkey, Turkey, here I come!
I have to eat you for my fun!
Without you there will be no November holiday!
No laughing and playing and eating all day!
So what do you say?
Will you let me eat you on this very special holiday?
Now you're on the table,
Beside the mashed potatoes,
Were laughing and playing,
And eating with family,
So I thank you Thanksgiving Turkey,
I thank you for making this day a very special holiday!

Thanksgiving poem
by Olivia
On Thanksgiving Day,
I live on the bay.
I have everything I want today,
even a stock of hay.
I think to myself quietly.
how do I give to the indians politely?
A turkey with custard,
is better than mustard.
With lots of cheese,
the Indians will be pleased.

Thanksgiving poem:
by Haley
Before we cook for thanksgiving day,
We ask the girls to go away.
We cook and cook all day long,
My mother also sings a song.
The cooking is never done,
Fore my mother cooks a ton.
We finish with all of that,
But tomorrow we will get fat.
We eat and eat till we can't eat no more,
Fore my stomach feels so sore.
We go out to play in the sun,
Thanksgiving is always so much fun!!!

thanksgiving
by Talia
thanksgiving is here,
every year this holiday brings lots of cheer
food piled high on plates
couples going out on dates,
giving and receiving meals,
looking out for christmas deals,
relaxing and unwinding,
while others are breaking the bindings,
being cheerful and content,
with ones you love is a holiday well spent.

Poem

Gavin
The leaves of falling,
the temperature too,
but I do not care,
cause i’m right here with all of you,
with the turkey and ham,
and dear old aunt Jan,
afternoon football,
and the Macy's parade,
and the day will end out,
with a ride in the hay

THANKSGIVING
By Destiny
Hi I am ready for Thanksgiving because
I like the Wizard of Oz.
Pilgrims may have started Thanksgiving dinner,
everyone thinks, that’s a winner.
People come to the house and eat and drink,
slow and quickly, then gone in a blink.

Thanksgiving
by Sherman
The leaves are falling
the turkeys are gobbling.
There's only one thing
that means Thanksgiving.
It’s here we look the best
right and left with many guest.
There they are the family cheer
they come inside and take in the air
The food is done it's time to share
by family, friends and any who dare.
Thanksgiving you win,
until we do it again.

Great Food
by Willard
Turkey is good pie even better, whew-hoo!
surrounded by family and all kinds of food.
I hope you wear in great haste,
something that stretches around the waist.
Hurry thanksgiving I can hardly wait,
ready for family and the special eating date.
But what I really enjoy,
is to get that turkey for thanksgiving joy.
My mom makes a pie, so delicious and thick,
that will make you wonder which should I pick.

The Turkey
By Cheyenne B.
Guess I can’t rhyme,
even if I had the time.
The day is long,
i could sing a song.
The turkey is gloomy,
“cause Thanksgiving Is looming.

Thanksgiving fun
by Levi
Thanksgiving,
a day of thanks and giving.
It is a time of birthday,
and birth.
The loot of food,
that makes you go oohh.
The sun is shining,
I hope your not lying.
The sun is dazy,
it makes you lazy.
Reading a book,
while your mom cooks.
The fun of playing,
is paying.

Thanksgiving Day
by
Cyanna
Thanksgiving is a day when you eat mashed potatoes and gravy
Some people have really weird hair and its wavy.
There is always turkey and everyone is always playing
everyone is at the table and the babies are lying.
it is the time of giving
your in life and still living.
your with your family
and not so fancy
we love to eat turkey
and you want to eat cookies but can only have three.
If you want a good time come on down
we have things to do so don't be a clown.
we joke around all night long
so if you come down we can play ping pong.

A great Thanksgiving!
By,Dustin
It was a great day on november 26th,
it was cold and i was frozen stiff.
I walk in the house, it smelled like turkey,
i look outside and looks very merky.
We watch football and it was the super bowl,
It was the cardinals vs. the broncos and the stadium was full.
I go into the kitchen and broke a wish bone,
but in the middle of my wish i pick up the phone.
It’s levi, he’s having a great time,
he said his party will last till 9:00.
It’s time to eat,
so glad the food is not made of feet.
It’s time to go home and sleep all night,
I’m thankful i didn't get a fright.
The end!

Poem
BY JHONN
thanksgiving is the day for living.
we are gonna share our giving.
turkey named relay
went for a replay.
today we're having fun
with a bun.
today giving is
fun with jay.
we also lay
on the bay.
we look for a
turkey on the door.
the end
for the bend.

THANKSGIVING
BY; Cheyenne H.
One crisp fall morning I looked out my window and saw a turkey
it looked like a giant giant piece of beef jerky
on thanksgiving day the ground is covered with crunchy leaves
I like apple pie that comes from apple seeds
I like all the colorful things that start to happen during this time of the year
all the kids eat cheesecake that they smear
I like picking blackberries for blackberry pie
and all the plants cause me to have a big red eye
all the sharing and giving makes me thankful for thanksgiving

Thanksgiving
By; Kimberly
On Thanksgiving Day there is a lot of family members getting together,
the best part is the weather.
There when some people come to the house
the pig came sometimes Thanksgiving with a mouse.
Then the dog came to town,
with the sheep to look around.
The dog told me that, then the horse
who came to town to thank the pig of course.

Thanksgiving
By, Draven
One turkey’s luck ran out,
when it tried to run out,
of his owner’s arms,
into many harms.
It is now the main course,
turkey with dressing what a morsel.
Now it’s time for mashed potatoes,
without any woes.
We talk while we eat.
We think this experience is pretty sweet.
We are pretty sad to say bye,
we almost cry.
