Thanksgiving is when we express our gratitude
and spend time with family and friends,
fostering a positive attitude
and accepting what the world our way sends.
Originating with the end of the harvest,
celebrating its success with a feast.
The food is absolutely marvelous
not least of all in Plymouth to the east.
Delicious food ranging from turkey to apple pie,
cranberry sauce, stuffing and corn,
once consumed, elicit a contented sigh
sometimes even past dawn.
There's also a lot of fun to be had.
Playing games of all sorts,
after which everyone feels glad,
regardless of whether the games have been made-up or bought.
Appreciation of one's heritage,
regardless of whether one hails from that particular area or not,
or whether one comes from beyond the river or ridge,
is something that should not be forgot.
