Pilgrim Children

(Count off on 10 fingers)

Pilgrim children did not play
On that first Thanksgiving Day.

The first chopped wood which he could take
to help his sister cook and bake.

The second took a great big sack,
and brought some nuts, all they could crack.

The third one got a turkey and she helped to roast it in a pan.

The fourth ground corn to make the bread

The fifth made covers for the bed.

The sixth one brought a pumpkin by
she cut it up to make it pie.

The seventh came and popped some corn.

The eighth fed horses in the barn

The ninth watched food or it might burn,

The tenth churned butter in a churn.
