Five Kernels of Cornby Hezekiah Butterworth

Twas the year of the famine in Plymouth of old,The ice and the snow from the thatched roofs had rolled;Through the warm purple skies steered the geese o'er the seas,And the woodpeckers tapped in the clocks of the trees;And the boughs on the slopes to the south winds lay bare,and dreaming of summer, the buds swelled in the air.The pale Pilgrims welcomed each reddening morn;There were left but for rations
Five Kernels of Corn.Five Kernels of Corn!Five Kernels of Corn!But to Bradford a feast were Five Kernels of Corn!"Five Kernels of Corn! Five Kernels of Corn!
Ye people, be glad for Five Kernels of Corn!

"So Bradford cried out on bleak Burial Hill,And the thin women stood in their doors, white and still."Lo, the harbor of Plymouth rolls bright in the Spring,The maples grow red, and the wood robins sing,The west wind is blowing, and fading the snow,And the pleasant pines sing, and arbutuses blow.Five Kernels of Corn!Five Kernels of Corn!
To each one be given Five Kernels of Corn!"

O Bradford of Austerfield hast on thy way,The west winds are blowing o'er Provincetown Bay,The white avens bloom, but the pine domes are chill,And new graves have furrowed Precisioners' Hill!"Give thanks, all ye people, the warm skies have come,The hilltops are sunny, and green grows the holm,And the trumpets of winds, and the white March is gone,Five Kernels of Corn!Five Kernels of Corn!
Ye have for Thanksgiving Five Kernels of Corn!

"The raven's gift eat and be humble and pray,A new light is breaking and Truth leads your way;One taper a thousand shall kindle; rejoiceThat to you has been given the wilderness voice!"O Bradford of Austerfield, daring the wave,And safe through the sounding blasts leading the brave,Of deeds such as thine was the free nation born,And the festal world sings the "Five Kernels of Corn."Five Kernels of Corn!Five Kernels of Corn!
The nation gives thanks for Five Kernels of Corn

So right now I'm trying to have a mind frame of 'Get Rid of My food Storage' since we'll be moving inevitably in the next 1-2 yrs. It would be good to be able to google a 'How to get rid of your food storage in 6 months or less' site. lol After we move however, I plan on putting it back together and I liked this site. http://foodstoragemadeeasy.net/start-here/ I needed to keep it somewhere to remember in a year or two and I thought my blog was the best place.

I'm still trying to find someone to teach me Spanish. I asked a gal at the gym today and gave her my phone number so we'll see.
