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!
