Don't know the feeling of Thanksgiving
There's no Thanksgiving where I am living
I can imagine though what it should be
Thus read the fantasy of Dutchie me

I'll heat up the stove on Thanksgiving day
When you feel lonely, just come my way
Come by plane, train, boat or car
Just come my way, it isn't that far

I'll have my family gathered around
But room for more will always be found
When you come in, I'll hug you tight
And you can stay all through the night

We'll have dinner, a sheep no doubt
I don't have turkeys hopping about
I know, I know, it should be that bird
But it's the thought that counts, I've heard

We'll tell stories while sipping wine
And I'll make sure you're feeling fine
Then we'll stumble up the stairs
Laughing out loud, but hell, who cares

And when you're ready to leave next morn
(Don't count on feeling completely 'reborn')
We'll say 'Goodbye' and 'Till next year'
And I will shed some tears I fear

That's my fantasy about Thanksgiving
There's no Thanksgiving where I am living
But...in my mind I could pretend
That my fantasy comes true my friend

Happy Holidays to all of you

Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

As long as we aren't eating my namesake...
I'll bring cornbread stuffing Titia.  Thanks for the invite...

Icequeen, we've a load of homemade wine, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Duncan, you're more than welcome and I love cornbread and well, let's see who we could roast.....I still have Balladeer

Hello Chris, coming Spring there certainly will be lambs again.

Midnitesun, the more the better, tofu turkey??

Dunc, would you settle for some chicken roast?

Marge, my dearest friend, if I could I would hop over to celebrate Thanksgiving with you and your family. You know I love you! Be sure my spirit's there with you gal.

You would roast BALLADEER!?!?!?!

I know you don't have turkey
In that undeveloped land
But roasting sheep for that day
Is too much for me to stand!



Although sheep have four drumsticks
Wouldn't they be hard to chew?
If someone says, "What are you having?"
I'm not saying EWE!!!



All the parts I love I'd find
Not easy to digest.
There's nothing tasty in my mind
About a mutton breast!

Thank God thanksgiving isn't there
In that land of the Dutch.
Sheep and dumplings on my plate
Would be a little much!!!!

Hello Titia ... how I would love to visit and have a Dutchie dinner with you and your family.

There is a very good possibility that our oldest son will be taking a job in Prague. It's still far from you, but closer than Boston!!

Hugs to your family and a big special hug to Muys

Loves, Marti

Balladeer , LOL I know that message would get you out of your hiding place. You've been hiding from us too long Deer. So glad to see you again and I love your little rhyme.

How can you say we don't have turkeys
When you have never visited my land
I can tell you my sister has several
Hopping about and eating out of her hand

How can you say we don't have turkeys
Well, not as much as we used to before
Black head disease was roaming this country
But there are some left for us to adore

How can you say we don't have turkeys
Most eat them at Christmas, stuffed as well
You should come visit me Balladeer
I'll show you around and then you can tell

Just take a plain, a train, boat or car
Come visit me Deer, it isn't that far
Make this Dutchie's fantasy come true
And I'll cook turkey, specially for you


And of course I wouldn't dare roast Balladeer! Not yet anyway

Marge, you got that right, I always love Deer's witty poems.

Marti, yes Prague is far away from me, at least two, maybe three days by car. I've never been there, but it's a beautiful city I've heard.

James, don't even know what I'm going to eat LOL, nowadays my hubby is the cook. Could be mutton though or the salmon I caught or just plain something else.

Wish you all could come over.

Titia

Titia, here I come dragging in.....
Can I come to your dinner, too?
I hope there's still room? I'll
bring a dessert.
Good to see you here, Dutchie girl.
