Another Brain Storm (Thanksgiving)

Thanksgiving is a holiday

We celebrate each year

And it also reminds us

Christmas is drawing near

After Christmas come New Year's

And [Twenty-Thirteen] starts

At twelve o'clock on New Year's Eve

Old [Twenty-Twelve] departs

We'are thankful that we have a home

With food and clothes to wear

Also that we live in the West

With hardly a worry or care

This is a real good place to live

It's not too cold and not too hot

We can go outside at night

Without a fear of being mugged or shot

So as this year draws to an end

With things real good out there

We wish you all a Merry Christmas

And an extra good New Year
