James Whitcomb Riley, well I'll be dipped! He's rather well known in my home Hoosier State, as I am sure you are aware. I spent more of my childhood than I care to remember in the pediatric cardiology unit at James Whitcomb Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis, and my grandmother used to read me this and other Riley poems. Thanks for reminding me of her and Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to all here.
Interesting thing about James Whitcomb Riley: Kipling actually wrote a poem to him.

"Your trail runs to the westward,
And mine to my own place:
There is water between our lodges,
And you cannot see my face.—
7
And that is well—for crying
Should neither be written nor seen,
But if I call you Smoke-in-the-Eyes,
I know you will know what I mean."
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, everyone you are feeding, and those who read this blog.
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!
Happy Thanksgiving America!

I'm glad I was able to bring up a memory!
Been a long long time since I last read that.
