THANKSGIVING POEMS selected by Myra Cohn Livingston
This book has a delightful collection of poems, all pertaining to Thanksgiving. Some of these are very serious and others on the silly side. One of my favorites is The Turkey's Wattle by J. Patrick Lewis.The Turkey's Wattle
Said the Turtle to the Turkey
Every time he came to visit,
"There's a funny hunk of wrinkle
Where your chin should be, what is it?"
Said the Turkey to the Turtle,
"Oh, this rubber decoration?
Heavens, no, I wouldn't tell you
'Cause it makes for conversation.
At Thanksgiving during dinner---
It's my relative they're carving!---
Silly People sit around and
Stuff themselves as if they're starving,
And you know the only question
They can think of while they visit?
'Say, that funny hunk of wrinkle
Round a Turkey's chin, what is it?!"
