Thanksgiving At Grandma's House Poem

At Grandma's house on Thanksgiving day, favorite delights are underway.
Fragrant cinnamon, ginger, spice, delight our senses, Oh, so nice!

Aroma of the roasting fowl, throughout the house our stomachs growl.
Brother, sister, cousins all, look forward to this day each fall.

The kids in Grandma's great big yard, play stickball, tag, and run real hard.
Our Dads and Uncles laugh and cheer. Football's starting, bring the beer!

Moms and Aunts and Grandma busy... basting, tasting, stir till dizzy.
Halftime's coming, set the table! (DVR it if you're able.)

Hustling, bustling, take your place, in time for Grandpa to say grace.
A hush descends, we breath a "Sigh!" And eat until there's no more pie.
