Dear Potatoes
I do wonder why I like you,
It is rather strange for me too.
You are quite versatile,
So much you make everyone smile.
They can leave you plain,
Or, with gravy, give you a stain.
They can chop you into strips,
With no escape tips,
I should give you some,
For the time’s almost come.
It’s Thanksgiving soon,
And I have a plan,
To send you off
In a hot-air-balloon!
Fly away, potato!

Dear Turkey
Why didn’t you run faster,
You’re sitting on my plate.
All you had to do,
Was jump over the garden gate!
You’re surrounded by potatoes,
All squashed together with pie,
But if I took you as a pet,
You’ll wear a red bow-tie!
So do listen up,
Cause I’ll give you advice,
Tell your friends that when we come,
Tell us to be nice!

Tintin’s Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving to all living,
And to you, Tintin too,
I’ll wish you a good day,
Filled with things you like to do.
A nice run in the sun,
A bark at the dog park,
Chasing after birds,
Like letters in the words.
Lily
