Thanksgiving At Mamas

( THANKSGIVING AT MAMA`S ) When going to mama’s for Thanksgiving Your mouth will water for miles away It’s for eating and a time for forgiving Before the meal hold hands and pray. Hope there’s no long winded preacher Anyone but him should say the prayer Thank God for mama the teacher Thanksgiving is such a festive affair. When the food is passed don’t ask Just pile it on your plate, it’s all good Your mouth with turkey it will bask Eat what you take, that’s understood. The turkey is always golden brown Dressing plenty inside moist and tasty Mama’s love is what does it I found Her ingredients have lots of modesty. Lots of food at mama’s to go around Family and friends to help celebrate All kinds of good things to eat abound With all the food it’s hard to concentrate. Biscuits and gravy, yams and corn too Leave room for mama’s pumpkin pie Left over turkey will be used for stew Filled no more room, only for a sigh. If the talk of religion comes up Everyone has their own view Time for a drink pass me a cup Mama has fresh tea she brew. Besides only the church has it right Everyone else will be going to hell Hell and damnation a frightful sight Miss church and mama we’ll tell. So when your at mama’s for the night Let’s all be thankful for a great meal Ask God to bless mama it’s only right What a good day, full is what I feel.
