1. Thanks to father

　　The year has turned its circle,

　　The seasons come and go.

　　The harvest is all gathered in

　　And chilly north winds blow.

　　Orchards have shared their treasures,

　　The fields, their yellow grain.

　　So open wide the doorway-

　　Thanksgiving comes again!

　　Father, We Thank Thee

　　Father, we thank Thee for the night,

　　And for the pleasant morning light,

　　For rest and food and loving care,

　　And all that makes the world so fair.

　　Help us to do the things we should,

　　To be to others kind and good,

　　In all we do, in all we say,

　　To grow more loving every day.

　　2.I think about my

　　father on his special day ---

　　he makes my heart smile.

　　My shirt sticks to me ---

　　I watch the cork disappear

　　as the fish gets fed.

　　Limericks have always been a favorite because they are supposed to be funny! There are five lines. The first, second, and fifth line rhyme with each other and the third and fourth lines

　　rhyme with each other. Most begin with "There once was a . . . " Try one of these to make your father laugh!

　　There once was a dad that I knew,

　　He tried to "teach me a thing or two,"

　　He taught me to fish

　　And how to cook a dish

　　And how to fly a kite when the wind blew.

　　There was a dad from Illinois,

　　To know him was such a joy.

　　He told silly tales

　　And made castles with pails

　　And acted just like a small boy.
