Our language in Canada and the USA
Originated in England but we've drifted away
Since the Mayflower landed
English got slanted
Quite unrecognizable in downtown San José...

Thankful and blessed are we today
1621 started this holiday
the Mayflower trip
Squanto's Indian tips
thank God he was bilingual by the way!



Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! :)

Our language in Canada and the U.S.of A.
Originated in England but we've sure drifted away
Since the Mayflower landed
English got slanted
Quite unrecognizable in downtown San José...

She came over on the Mayflower in 1620.
Learned Native American garden ways which were plenty.
Promptly put new animals out to graze,
Learned how to plant good-looking maize,
Luckily her soul was open, and her mind was twenty-twenty....

Blossoms only given in pink and white 
but of such sweet tempers
and as a branch or member of this royalty
we welcome lovely almond scented gorse and broom 
and leading now to the mayflower time
the aroma of spring
Oh! such aromatic incense soft dreaming of happy time !...

Blossoms only given in pink and white 
but of such sweet tempers
and as a branch or member of this royalty
we welcome lovely almond scented gorse and broom 
guiding gently leading now to the mayflower time
the heady full aroma of early summer
Oh such aromatic incense soft  dreaming of happy times...

The Lord says you must  attend church
So no child is left in the lurch
Despite the weather
A strap of leather
Will work just as well as the birch*

* The Mayflower pilgrims came to
Plymouth so they could enjoy the
freedom to fine, humiliate, torture,
and "purify" any and all who did not
adhere to their beliefs.   Trump believes
that attitude made America great....

I was once your cowgirl and you were my Indian

This was in the San Joaquin valley of California that you planted your seed in me

Boy did we have a pow wow

It was a delicious experience and made me think of the 
arrival of the Mayflower so long ago

Yes, I was your cowgirl at the ripe age of forty
And, you looked like such a beautiful Native American Indian

Together we played cowgirls and Indians
He's nine years beautiful...
