Thanksgiving Poems

Indian Boy

I am a little Indian boy
I hunt with arrow and bow
If I see a turkey in the woods
Swoosh my arrow will go.

Pilgrim Boy

I am a little Pilgrim boy
I like to grind the corn
I’ll follow the little Indian boy
Early Thanksgiving Morn.

Pilgrim Girl

I am a little pilgrim girl
I like to fish and play
I’ll follow the little Indian boy
On his turkey hunt today.

Turkey

I am a big, fat turkey
You can’t have my head.
I’ll sit with you for dinner
We’ll eat a duck instead!

Five Fat Turkeys

Five fat turkeys are we
We slept all night in a tree
When the cook came around
We couldn’t be found
So that’s why we’re here you see!

Hello, Mr. Turkey

(tune-If You’re Happy And You Know It...)
Hello, Mr. Turkey
How are you? (clap, clap)
Hello, Mr. Turkey
How are you? (clap, clap)
With a wobble, wobble, wobble
and a gobble, gobble, gobble
Hello, Mr. Turkey
How are you? (clap, clap)

Mr. Turkey

(tune- Frere Jacque’)
Mr. Turkey, Mr. Turkey
Run away, run away
If you are not careful
You will be a mouthful
Thanksgiving Day, Thanksgiving Day!
