There once was a ship, the Mayflower was her name
This ship took a trip, she crossed the main
It was full of people seeking peace,
Praying for freedom to increase.

The Pilgrims sailed across to Plymouth Rock
They were simple people of strudy stock
It was for freedom that they crossed the sea,
And thanked the Lord on bended knee.

The crops were planted and when gathered in
The great big dinner party did begin.
The Pilgrims and the Indians all were there
To feast on turkey, corn and pumpkin pie.

Even though this poem is done
Remember this is where it all begun.
For ever since that autumn day,
Thanksgiving Day has been here to stay,
