T for time to be together, turkey,talk and tangy weather
H for harvest stored away, home and hearth and holiday
A for Autumn’s frosty art, and abundance in the heart
N for neighbors and November, nice things, new things to remember
K for kitchen, kettle’s croon, kith and kin expected soon
S for sizzles, sights and sounds, and something special that abounds
That spells THANKS for joy in living
And a jolly good Thanksgiving.
