I wish we had Thanksgiving Day.
I WISH, I WISH.



I wish, I wish we had a day, set aside each year,
To show our gratitude and thanks for all that we have here.
Thanksgiving sounds the perfect way to tell folks how we feel,
Of course there is the bonus of a scrumptious turkey meal!

We do not celebrate a day quite like this in Australia,
I had to look it up on Google ~ what magnificent regalia!
The pictures of the tables spread with food fit for a King!
Oh how I wish we had a day that we called Thanksgiving!

The Cranberry Salsa/Cream cheese dip with crackers just to start,
And then a big Roast Turkey begging to be pulled apart!
Stuffing and brown gravy with potatoes, mashed or sweet.
And by the side a salad spread so green and crisp and neat.

If there's any room to spare inside your full round tummy,
You can have some Pumpkin Pie! How very, very, yummy
A great big dollop of sweet whipped cream spooned up there on top.
My mouth is watering so much, I think I have to stop!

You may have got an inkling that I like a nice big dinner,
If I didn't, I tell you, I'd be a little thinner!
But food's not all Thanksgiving Day is all about, I'm guessing,
It's a special day to gather and give thanks for every blessing.

I wish, I wish we had a day, set aside each year,
To show our gratitude and thanks for all that we have here.
This day will pass unnoticed, in Australia, so I'll say,
To all of you who celebrate, have a great Thanksgiving Day!
