      December 24, 2016What I’m Thankful ForIngrid Fox

      This is what I’m thankful for:
      Piggies, doggies, ceilings, floors,
      Doctors, teachers, sisters, brothers,
      Aunts and uncles, fathers, mothers
      Girls and boys, chalk and boards,
      Watches, feelings, leaves and more
      Trees and water, food food food!
      When everyone’s in a good mood
      For homework (not!) and actors, too,
      For ducks that quack and cows that moo
      My house, my room, my own computer,
      My nieces; they are even cuter!
      For comics, music, writing, reading,
      Bikes and trikes and mouth-closed eating
      Dr. Seuss, good old Mark Twain,
      The books they wrote, the sun and rain
      For T.V., friends, for paper money,
      Waffles, syrup, pancakes, honey
      Fishies, sharkies, mousies, horsies,
      Lalala’s and Memememe’s
      Letters, numbers, airplanes, boats,
      Castles, princes, queens and moats
      Cops and dentists, cool nicknames,
      Magic, sailors, people famous
      Lots of love and lots of caring,
      And most of all for LOTS OF SHARING! (with me!)
      My health, my school, my house, my bed,
      Christmas time and pencil lead
      Of all the things I’m thankful for
      The one I think I most adore
      Is all the love I have received
      From everyone that I have knore … uh, known
