It's a day that's meant for families, To give thanks for all our blessings. To carve a succulent turkey, Fill up on cornbread dressing. Sadly some call it "Turkey" day, To me that is so sad, It isn't Balladeer's birthday?, But for thanks of what we have. Why celebrate the Turkey? Though it gave it's life for me, To remind us of Thanksgiving, That's how it's meant to be. I'm thankful for so many things, For my kids my friends my health, For all these things mean much to me, They're how I measure wealth. This year when I give thanks, I'll include LongJohn Silver too, He's the one that brought me here, So I could be thankful for all of you.

Hey, Toe! It's turkeys like you that make this a plesant place to be. The custom at our house has always been such that each person must tell of something for which they are thankful. |

Beautiful friendships From these poetic ranks Will be high on my list As I offer my thanks. People I've come To love through their words - Thought provoking, erotic, Or even absurd. There's no question that Toerag Is special to me And other dear friends Have become family. I wish I could show them Every day What they add to my life, How they ease my way. As Thanksgiving Day nears We'll be far apart But I hope that they know They're held close in my heart. |
