T Day One

People of the Dawn came first
before the European’s thirst
for more and more
to steal and store.
Generous first peoples soon cursed

Another one befitting the American "thanksgiving" theme! Wish I had more time. I'd visit more limericks since I love writing them and reading good ones like yours as well.

Sad but not entirely true, the Indians have the same rights if not more than me and you…:)

I'm neither a revisionist nor apologist, but it's quite probable the Pilgrimmies would have starved to death without the generosity of the the nats. Of course, the usual debate over who done who first goes on. Happy tofus, tacos and tukwillians to you too!
