THANKSGIVING DAY.

Hail. hail, Thanksgiving day!
Welcome to saints and sinners
Welcome to all, both great and small,
Thou day of royal dinners!
See how they come from far and near,
y troop of carpet baggers,
To grace the board with one accord,
And appetites like daggers.
Who cares for Turkish war abroad
Who cares for serf or Gar?
Or Turkey lies before our eyes;
Come and attack -hurrah.
With knife and fork we win the day,
A truce to care and sorrow.
Eat while we may, Thanksgiving day
Will fade before to morrow
We're thankful for host of things
Too numerous to mention:
For sweethearts true and hearts to WOO,
And all things worth attention.
For all and every thing that gives
Our lives so much of pleasure
We offer thanks. Long may we taste
Thine OVERLOOKING measure.
Then hail, hail, Thanksgiving day,
Thou day of royal dinners.
Nor will we care if the grim nightmare
Should fright the soul within US
When day is done. Let Turkeys ghost,
With the nuts and puddings and wine,
In the dead OF the night begin their fgh
Stil-victory is thine.
