Thanksgiving

For what shall I
give thanks?

There are many to list.

childhood pranks

that my family exists

good food

good health

a happy mood

plenty of wealth

loving husband

healthy children

living in this land

places I've been

so not just tomorrow

but each and every day

I will be sure to borrow

a life of living in a grateful way

can't borrow a rhyme

my daughter wrote
a great rhyme yesterday

but she won't give me the
chance to put it on display

I asked if I could post
it here on this blog

but she said no and
left my brain in a fog

she began another ditty
that I could put up here

but I guess I've since forgotten
it or here it would appear

mispellings

mispellings
abound within
this rhime

and noone
will even give
me the thyme

once I spelled
something amis
with no notis

but noone was
there to keep
me strait

and so then
I new this
blog's wait

was pretty low
on the list
of must reeds

so I thout
I would see
what it kneads

maybe spelling
will keep it
afloat

or maybe it
will be its
sinking bote
