Foolish Question
I met a Turkey Gobbler
When I went out to play.
Oh, Mr. Turkey Gobbler,
How are you today?
GOBBLE, GOBBLE, GOBBLE
That I can not say
Don't ask me such a question
On Thanksgiving Day!

A Squirrel's Thanksgiving
A squirrel was sitting
Near a tree,
Eating his dinner contentedly.
He didn't have turkey
and dressing but,
He cracked and nibbled
A big brown nut.
He choose a dinner, I would say,
Just right for a squirrel
On Thanksgiving Day.

I Wouldn't
There's a mouse house
In the hall wall
With a small door
By the hall floor
Where the fat cat
Sits all day,
Sits that way
All day,
Every day.
Just to say,
"Come out and play"
To the nice mice
In the mouse house
With the small door
By the hall floor.
And do they
Come out and play
When the fat cat
Asks them to?
Well, would you?

The Wishbone
Wishbone, wishbone on a dish,
pick it up and make a wish.
If I pull the wishbone right,
I will get my wish tonight.
Wishbone, wishbone will I win?
Will I laugh and clap and grin?
When the wishbone snaps in two,
Will my wishbone wish come true?
Wishbone, wishbone now it snaps,
my sister grins and laughs and claps.
Wishbone, wishbone I don't laugh
my sister got the bigger half.

Vegetables
Vegetables are good for you!
They make you strong, and healthy too!
If you eat them everyday,
"I feel so good!"
is what you'll say.
Carrots, corn, string beans too.
All of these are good for you!
