“Today is Thanksgiving,
and an icicle breeze
nips at your window
and whips up the leaves.

Ah, what a morning!
The cold autumn haze
brings visions of Pilgrims
and Indians…and maize!

So wrap in a blanket
and don your warm socks
and pretend you’re descending
an old Plymouth rock.”
P.K. Hallinan, Today is Thanksgiving

“Now here come your friends
racing onto the scene!
They’re ready for football
in their jerseys and jeans!

So you quickly choose sides
and mark off the goals,
using jackets and earmuffs
and telephone poles.

Then with one mighty kick
the game starts to click.

And oh, what a game!
So many trick plays!
You sneak to the mailbox,
then streak the wrong way!

But then a long pass
over driveway and grass
is caught near the earmuffs--
a touchdown at last!

And everyone sighs
as you end in a tie.”
P.K. Hallinan, Today is Thanksgiving

“Later, back home
you quickly get dressed
and shine like a diamond
to impress all your guests.

And here they are now!
It’s the whole family clan!
Why, it’s dear Auntie Pansy
and big Uncle Stan!

And everyone’s bearing
some food for the sharing.

Soon there are roomfuls
of nephews and nieces.
The cat’s on the table--
the dog’s got the sneezes.

And Uncle Tobias
is asleep in the chair,
while Petey the parakeet
creeps in his hair.

And the whole house resounds
with hilarious sounds.”
P.K. Hallinan, Today is Thanksgiving
