A Harvest Feast

 

On that joyous day bread was broke.

Despite their differences a friendship woke.

Squanto of the Patuxet tribe had taught the starving Separatists how to survive.

In growing corn and catching fish the skeletal Pilgrims he did enlist.

Forging an alliance with the Wampanoag Tribe for the Pilgrims, Squanto did contrive.

The celebration of a harvest feast was held for three days with the Wampanoag Chief.

Massasoit with ninety men in tow, brought five large deer to bestow.

In our modern times of plenty, remember Squanto and the Pilgrims with stomachs empty.
