\n Welcome to the November 2013 Edition
\n of PICK-APART POETRY
\n as we celebrate Thanksgiving
\n and the blessings that we enjoy
\n true Pick-Apart fashion.<\/font><\/p>\n

OVER THE RIVER, AND THROUGH THE WOOD<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Over the river, and through the wood,
\n To Grandfather’s house we go;
\n the horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
\n through the white and drifted snow.<\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Over the river, and through the wood,
\n to Grandfather’s house away!
\n We would not stop for doll or top,
\n for ’tis Thanksgiving Day.<\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Over the river, and through the wood\u2014
\n oh, how the wind does blow!
\n It stings the toes and bites the nose
\n as over the ground we go.<\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Over the river, and through the wood\u2014
\n and straight through the barnyard gate,
\n We seem to go extremely slow,
\n it is so hard to wait!<\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Over the river, and through the wood\u2014
\n When Grandmother sees us come,
\n She will say, “O, dear, the children are here,
\n bring a pie for everyone.”<\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Over the river, and through the wood\u2014
\n now Grandmother’s cap I spy!
\n Hurrah for the fun! Is the pudding done?
\n Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!<\/font><\/p>\n

THANKSGIVING SONG<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n


\n <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Thanksgiving comes but once a year,
\n But when it comes it brings good cheer.
\n For in my storehouse on this day
\n Are piles of good things hid away.
\n Each day I\u2019ve worked from early morn
\n To gather acorns, nuts, and corn,
\n Till now I\u2019ve plenty and to spare
\n Without a worry or a care.
\n So light of heart the whole day long,
\n I\u2019ll sing a glad Thanksgiving song.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n Our only goal here
\n is creativity
\n and fun.<\/font><\/p>\n


\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

We look forward to what we create
\n and bring back to share.<\/font><\/p>\n


\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

And wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!<\/font><\/p>\n
