Thanksgiving Poem
« Thread Started on Nov 24, 2011, 9:46am »

Okay Paul, Let's sing this one too.

OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOOD

Over the river and through the wood,
To grandfather’s house we go;
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
Through the white and drifted snow.

Over the river and through the wood—
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes
And bites the nose,
As over the ground we go.

Over the river and through the wood,
To have a first-rate play.
Hear the bells ring,
“Ting-a-ling-ding!”
Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day!

Over the river and through the wood,
Trot fast, my dapple-gray!
Spring over the ground,
Like a hunting-hound!
For this is Thanksgiving Day.

Over the river and through the wood,
And straight through the barnyard gate.
We seem to go
Extremely slow,
It is so hard to wait!

Over the river and through the wood —
Now grandmother’s cap I spy!
Hurrah for the fun!
Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for pumpkin-pie!

“Over the River and through the Wood“, a favorite holiday poem, was written by Lydia Maria Child. Originally titled, “A Boy’s Thanksgiving Day,” it was first published in Flowers for Children, Vol. 2 in 1844

There's one Thanksgiving tradition I've held for about the last 40 years, and that's listening to Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant Massacree:

Part I...

Part II...

Those videos are great of "The Alice's Restaurant Massacree".
Let's all sing along:

Pete Seeger / Arlo Guthrie

I used to see this movie when I was 16, and was relieved to not go through the Draft when I turned 18.

This movie helped change the world.
