Thanksgiving Day by Linda Coker | There's a lamb in the kitchen Knocking biscuits to the floor And she's prancing, hopping, bleating As we chase her out the door
There's a turkey in the oven And the guests are due at noon Old Auntie's started smiling As she licks the batter spoon
The leaves have started drifting As the wind whips in the snow The little critters scurry To their warm and earthy holes
Our Grandpa's outside herding Cows and sheep and horses in Mom is fetching Sammy home From playing with his best friends
We set up several tables To make room for everyone And pull out cards and dominoes For the after dinner fun
Tantalizing aromas And the weather make me smile Anticipating family That we've not seen for a while
Thanksgiving Day has started And we're all so thankful for The gifts of God we all share In our farmhouse near the shore | Linda Coker Copyright 2005 Listed 2/06/2006 |
