TOMMY'S THANKS.
I'm thankful for the nice red drum
Aunt Mary gave to me;
I'm thankful for the glossy pug
That frisks about my knee.
I'm thankful that our orchard old
Is full of rosy fruit;
I'm very thankful that I have
A canvas football suit.
I'm thankful for the fading tree
That shakes the chestnuts down;
But most of all I'm thankful for
The turkey crisp and brown.
R. K. M.
"Oh!" groaned Tommy, the day after Thanksgiving, as he took a bitter dose of medicine, "I wish I hadn't been so thankful yesterday."
