ONCE ON THANKSGIVING


  It was close to four hundred years ago, 
  This Story,
                                                    
  They traveled far across the water for a 
  new life.

  These English settlers laned at Plymouth 
  Rock,

  The first Thanksgiving happened in sixteen 
  Twenty One.

  It was not your today sit down supper, much 
  Different,

  Not a turkey, no cranberry or mash potatoes, 
   A Different feast.

  They would not have survived if not for help 
   From The Wampanoag Indians,

  The Winters were very hard, Today we have it 
  Much Easier, To be thankful.

  The first Thanksgiving lasted three days, duck 
   Was a Main course,

  The Wampanoag's leader's name was Massasoit, 
  Once On Thanksgiving.
