Going your way
At least for today
Harry the Turkey was trying a getaway being escape
But he was on an island known for the first name as Cape
So Harry ventured out
The thought of Thanksgiving is what Harry was talking about
Every year a possibility of the ax
But it was a known fact
So 2017, Harry decided to hitchhike
But will it turn into a plight?
So Harry is thumbing for a ride on Highway 18
Harry wanted to make sure he was seen and not hide
So a truck happened to stop, but wait?
It was an animal meat slaughtering truck
What luck?
Would Harry become the star attraction on Thanksgiving Day?
Well as luck had it, Harry would be sparred and not be slaughtered
So the getaway was on
The ride to the mainland was long
It was that hound bus being the get a long
A new refreshing breathing life
No one has to give Harry advice
An oven Harry will stay out
Let’s celebrate and shout
On the Dinner table on Thanksgiving, Harry will be out
But too some unhappy family, I see a pout
Butterball Turkey in victory
You got my story being Harry’s glory.
