No collection of Thanksgiving poems would be complete without this old time favorite Thanksgiving poem, To Grandmother’s House We Go, which is also a folk song.

Thanksgiving Dinner

I ate too much Turkey, I ate too much corn,
I ate too much pudding and pie.
I’m stuffed up with muffins and too much stuffin’

But I wish I had known when to stop,
For I’m so crammed with yams, sauces, gravies, and jams

But there’s still some dessert so I guess it won’t hurt if
I eat just a little bit more!
