Eb mir esse, duhne mir bede.

Now we back in November, my goodness, this year is really going quickly, right? My kids have put their Halloween costumes away again and the table stands full with candy. And now we come to our next holiday: Thanksgiving. I like Thanksgiving a lot. Recently, I found a poem in an old book about Thanksgiving and I want to share it with all of you. Have fun reading it!
Thanksgiving is here again. By Florence Baver (1912-1999)
Thanksgiving is here again,
And there is so much noise
In the kitchen;
Lots of work for me.
Turkey and lots of other things,
I have to prepare now
In the kitchen;
It’s fun for me.
Cakes and lots of pies,
Already stand in a row
In the kitchen;
Oh, it makes me sweat.
The children all come home,
Want to bet that they will all act the same
In the kitchen;
Aye, it makes me smile.
Before we eat, we pray.
Later we swap recipes
In the kitchen;
Lots of joy for me.
Thanksgiving comes and goes,
Good things planted and sowed
In the kitchen;
It is all happiness for me.
I wish all of you a happy and blessed Thanksgiving! Eat as much as you can!
