Grandma's house was full of people
Around Thanksgiving time
There was more food in that one place
Than I have room to rhyme!
Ol' Tom Turkey was basted well
I think Grandpa was too
Gals were cooking' up a storm
There was so much to do!
Sweet potatoes with marshmallows
Veggies from the garden
The whole house had a strong odor
Oh! I beg your pardon!
The best cornbread dressing ever
With giblet gravy too
You never went away hungry!
When Thanksgiving was through!
Six pies were on the windowsill
Grandma wanted two more
Daddy offered his "expertise"
She pointed to the door
We sat in chairs and on the floor
Anyplace we could find
I was worried about my plate
Not where I sat my 'hind!
Full of people and full of food
Grandma liked it that way
I think about those wonderful times
Every Thanksgiving Day!
