The Daily Poetical- Thanksgiving Addition
Welcome to the Daily Poetical!! Thanksgiving Addition
Featured Poem-
This is one of my favorite poems of all time, but I don't know who wrote it!!
The Turkey Shot out of the Oven
The turkey shot out of the oven,
and rocketed into the air,
It knocked every plate off the table,
and partly demolished a chair.
It ricocheted into a corner,
and bust with a deafening oom.
then splattered all over the kitchen,
completely obscuring the room.
It stuck to the walls and the windows,
It totally coated the floor,
there was turkey attached to the ceiling,
where there'd never been turkey before.
It blanketed every appliance,
It smeared every saucer and bowl,
there wasn't a way I could stop it,
that turkey was out of control.
I scraped and scrubbed with displeasure,
and thought with chagrin as I mopped,
that I'd never again stuff a turkey,
with popcorn that hadn't been popped!

A Dora Thanksgiving

The End

The End

Interesting facts about the First Thanksgiving-
- It happened in late September or early October, 1621 (right after the harvest).
- Instead of a English affair, it was more like a native celebration.
- Massasoit brought 100 native americans (twice the amount of Pilgrims in Plymouth!) to the celebration.
- They ate turkeys, duck, geese, deer, and many harvested vegtables like corn and squash.
