Poem O Thanks
In 1619, Cap'n John Woodlief brought a group of fresh colonists to a grassy knoll where he ordered them to get on their knees and give a little thanks for this big new world. He then declared a day to be set apart every year to do the same. Now in honor of the gracious captain, I too pause to reflect, remember and give thanks...Poem O Thanks
~a tribute to the Cap'n~
I'm thankful for thanksgiving
So that I can give thanks.
I'm thankful for my parents
Except for all the spanks.
I'm thankful for my friends
Because they're super nice.
I'm thankful for the ladies
My muscles can entice.
I'm thankful for my coffee
At nine, at noon, and three.
I'm thankful for my scooter
Fast as fast as can be.
I'm thankful still for China
For tea and the Great Wall
And that they think I'm awesome
Because of basketball.
I am thankful for Thailand
For ladies and for boys
But not when mixed together
An odd and troubling ploy.
I'm thankful for India
For Budduh my camel
I'm thankful for his spirit,
Not thankful for his smell
I'm SO thankful for Europe
For French bread and for wine.
For hiking the Cinque Terra
And strolls along the Rhine.
I'm thankful too for Portland
And even all the rain.
I'm thankful for cute puppies
But not for flies, they're lame.
But most of all I'm thankful
For those who read this blog.
Well that and my really
Really big muscles.
The End.
*Now you say at least one thing you are thankful for.
