Poem
AN ODE TO THANKSGIVING ‘twas the night of Thanksgiving and all through the feast not a creature was stirring not even a beast The turkey was laid on the table with care in the hopes that Melissa and Kaitlyn would soon be there. They feasted and feasted ‘till their bellies were full when all of a sudden a noise came from a hole A mouse who was quite small came up out of that hole in the wall It squeaked and squeaked and gave such a fright that they ran away screaming into the night But then all of the sudden there came a big clatter as the mouse was scrambling upon the fruit platter “Wait’ it said, “I’m just like you” “I would love to be your friend too!” Melissa and Kaitlyn squealed with delight as they picked up the mouse and ran from the sight They ran through the feast and then through the kitchen when all of the sudden the mouse started ‘twitchen “Wait!” said the mouse, “I heard a noise: I think it was because of those very large boys- the boys who are eating Chips Ahoy!” Melissa and Kaitlyn turned in disgust thinking that those boys were nuts “How odd!” said the mouse “that they should have a part-y and forget to invite you and me!” So they went and stole a chip from the bag that was resting on his hip. But when they ran back to the feast they ran right into that big old beast. “Stop!” the beast said “or I’ll knock off your head,” “hand me that bag and you be alright.” “just as long as you get out of my sight.” They gave him the bag and ran right away To go take their leave, down to the stock of hay. It had been a long day so they slept in the hay and dreamt sweetly of their Thanksgiving Day.
