Thanksgiving Day:
Thanksgiving day is oh so fun
Especially when the guests start to come
Food scents and chatter fills the air
And the thought of that much food, I can’t bare
My mother talks to the guests about food
All of the waiting for the feast is just so crude
David and Katie plan out their dishes
When I break the wishbone, I’ll make my wishes
Burning food scent stuck in my nose
The cranberries and turkey don’t smell like a rose
Seasoning and breakfast sausage is the only talk
When I tasted the turnout, it was just like chalk
Peeling apples and slicing them up
David does it into a measuring cup
Chopping up broccoli into a pan
Putting it into the oven is soon Katie’s plan
My mother walks around opening champagne
I hope that the turkey she cooks isn’t plain
Pots and pans clank around
Later I hear a beeping sound
The turkey is done, and the guests dishes go in
My father chats with Katie about football, like who’s gonna win
Katie then saw a shock on her cellphone
She saw the Steelers re-posted her photo on twitter even though to them she was unknown
The cold air blew through the broken window
I was beginning to freeze from the continuous airflow
Tension and calmness was the feeling I felt
Over the mashed potatoes, butter would melt
Loud steps around made by my mom and dad
Dinner was close to ready, that makes me glad
Champagne full glasses clinking softly
If Katie or David dropped theirs, it would sure be costly
Water runs for the freshly bought flowers
Their wonderful smells do their powers
My dad’s jokes just won’t stop
He cracks them while my mother chops
The timer beeps and the candles are lit
Everyone finds their place card, and there they sit
Finally we can stuff ourselves with all the food
Thanks are said, and happy is the mood
I’m so full, I have nothing to say
That is why I love Thanksgiving Day
That really gets the nuisance of our Thanksgiving this year. You come up with such clever rhymes. Great piece.
