Thanksgiving in Connecticut

In the small town of Guilford along the shoreline, 
You’ll find a turkey farm that is quite divine 
As soon as you turn into the long driveway, 
You’ll spot some colorful turkeys along the way 
It’s here where the Thanksgiving tradition starts 
It’s here where we pick up our turkey and then depart 
Our house is filled with love and laughter 
Family arrives and we’ll watch scary movies after 
We’ll make pumpkin pie as the turkey roasts 
My grandparents always like to be the hosts 
Soon, all of the family is around the table, 
Four cousins, three dogs, two aunts, and two uncles 
My favorite part of the meal is the cranberry sauce 
It’s sweet and it’s tart and it has a nice gloss 
The food is cleaned up, we have finished eating 
It’s time for some board games, there’s no time for sleeping 
My uncle takes pictures, “Click, click” that’s his camera 
It’s as big as an elephant and we all surround Grandma 
Thanksgiving is over, we all had a fun day 
We were thankful last Thursday, what else can I say?

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. We all go to my grandparents' house. Being able to spend time with family is one of the things I cherish the most. We have many traditions on Thanksgiving Day as seen in the poem.
