Kids Thanksgiving Dinner Poem

Every Day When We Eat Our Dinner
Every day when we eat our dinner,
Our table is very small.
There's room for father, mother,
Sister, brother, and me--that's all.
But when it's Thanksgiving Day and
The company comes.
You'd scarcely believe your eyes,
For that very same table stretches
Until it is just this siz

At Grandma's House
I like the taste of turkey
Any time throughout the year
But it never
Seems to taste as good
As when Thanksgiving's here.

Could be it's all the trimmings
That are cooked with it to eat-
But I think it's
eating at Grandma's house
That makes it such a treat!

Over the River
(Thanksgiving Day)
Over the river and through the wood
To Grandmother's house we go.
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
Through white and drifted snow.

Over the river and through the wood
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes
And bites the nose,
As over the ground we go.

Over the river and through the wood
To have a first-rate play.
Hear the bells ring,
Ting-a-ling-ling!
Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day!

Over the river and through the wood,
Trot fast, my dapple gray!
Spring over the ground
Like a hunting hound,
For this is Thanksgiving Day.

Over the river and through the wood,
And straight through the barnyard gate.
We seem to go
Extremely slow~
It is so hard to wait!

Over the river and through the wood~
Now Grandmother's cap I spy!
Hurrah for fun!
Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!
