SOMETHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR, by CLARA J. DENTON
First Line: I'm glad that I am not today Last Line: I'll thankful be for that. Subject(s): Holidays; Thanksgiving Day
I'M glad that I am not to-day A chicken or a goose, Or any other sort of bird That is of any use.
I'd rather be a little girl, Although 'tis very true, The things I do not like at all, I'm often made to do.
I'd rather eat some turkey than To be one, thick and fat, And so, with all my heart, to-day I'll thankful be for that.
