It’s Thanksgiving Night
Welcome to Poetry4kids. I’m Kenn Nesbitt.
With Thanksgiving just around the corner here in the US, I wanted to write a fun poem about the holiday that captures the feeling of overindulging at a big family feast.
Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude and togetherness, but it’s also a time when we often eat more than we should—something kids and grown-ups alike can relate to. I thought it would be fun to explore that universal experience from a playful perspective, imagining what it might feel like to share the aftermath of a big meal with an unexpected companion.
I hope this poem brings a smile to your face as you prepare for your own holiday celebrations!
It’s Thanksgiving Night
It’s Thanksgiving night, and
I’m curled up in bed.
I’m clutching my teddy bear
next to my head.
My stomach is aching.
I let out a groan.
Then, suddenly, I hear
my teddy bear moan.
I ate too much food, so
my tummy’s in pain.
But this is the first time
I’ve heard him complain.
We’re hugging each other
and sharing our sorrow.
We can’t wait until we
feel better tomorrow.
Tonight, though, we’re whining
and huffing and puffing.
It’s Thanksgiving night, and
we’re both full of stuffing.
