Thanksgiving

We are thankful for the food we eat,
We are thankful for the friends we meet,
We are thankful for the golden sun
For the trees
The breeze
And everyone!

Pick a Pumpkin

Pick a pumpkin orange
Pick a pumpkin green
Pick one with a smiley face
Or a face that's mean
Pick a pumpkin BIG
Pick a pumpkin small
Pick a pumpkin skinny
What's your favorite one of all??

Five Little Pumpkins

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate.
The first one said, "Oh my, it's getting late!"
The second one said, "There are witches in the air!"
The third one said, "But we don't care."
The fourth one said, "Let's run and run and run"
The fifth one said, "I'm ready for some fun!"

Whoooosh, went the wind,
And out went the lights
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.
