I WENT HUNGRY ON THANKSGIVING

I was hungry on Thanksgiving,

but I couldn't eat a thing,

I couldn't eat a drumstick

and I couldn't eat a wing,

I couldn't have the pickles

or the gravy-covered rice,

the pumpkin pie was luscious,

but I couldn't have a slice.

I was starving for some stuffing

Or a tasty yellow yam,

Or a puffy little muffin

Spread with homemade berry jam.

Our dinner looked delicious,

But I didn't dare to touch,

I went hungry on Thanksgiving

Because my new braces hurt so much!
