Happy Thanksgiving to you all
here on these pages of blue
I hope ya'll have a very nice day
with lots of good food to eat, too
My family and I will prepare a big meal
with all good Southern recipes
Turkey and dressing, sweet potatoe pie,
and much more that's sure to please
Ya'll probably have some good recipes,
passed down all through the years
Just try not to eat so much that it hurts,
and then, will bring you to tears
I try to just eat a little of it all,
but that makes me have a full plate
When I'm finished, I say, "My goodness me,
look how much I have ate !!"

Seriously, dear friends.........

If there's a roof up above you,
and you have a good place to sleep
With good food on your table
and fine shoes on your feet
Let's thank the good Lord for
His love, for friends and family
and for all of His blessings
around that you see

HAPPY   THANKSGIVING   TO   MY   FAMILY   OF
FRIENDS  HERE   AT   PASSIONS   IN   POETRY

I love you all, and pray that God will bless you all

Same on you Ethel, let's include a pre-turkey prayer that all could have even these bare necessities.

Down in sunny Florida
On Thanksgiving day
They fry up alligator
In a special kind of way.

Set the oven at three fifty,
The head is slowly baked
The tail is simply deep fried
Cayenne pepper just to taste

Served with fresh poke salad,
Potatoes mashed with wine
Yams and dressing cooked just right
Snake seasoned with some thyme

Mr. Toe, I sure do thank ya'll for the good (??) Southern recipes!!HeeHee!!
Seriously, I never have tried alligator or snake, but I've heard that both are really
delicious. I think I'll just stick to turkey and chicken, beef and pork.
BTW, I don't even like the wild taste of venison or the other animals people get
when going hunting. (notice I didn't call venison, "deer", didn't you? HaHa!!)

Yep! Amen to that, and thanks!!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
