There was a young man from Ceylon                                    Another man from Sri Lanka Whose turkey went on and on                                                Penned an original tanka Each piece on his plate                                                             With himself he was pleased He dutifully ate                                                                         But his friends they just teased Till every morsel was gone                                                       And called him a silly old....wally Turkey in soup, turkey in curry,turkey in sandwiches when in a hurry,turkey for breakfast,turkey for tea, fed up with turkey soon I shall be. Ways to eat turkey different and clever, man this turkey goes on for ever. Can we have something else now please, put the rest in containers to freeze.

Turkey days
There was a young man from Ceylon                                    Another man from Sri Lanka Whose turkey went on and on                                                Penned an original tanka Each piece on his plate                                                             With himself he was pleased He dutifully ate                                                                         But his friends they just teased Till every morsel was gone                                                       And called him a silly old....wally Turkey in soup, turkey in curry,turkey in sandwiches when in a hurry,turkey for breakfast,turkey for tea, fed up with turkey soon I shall be. Ways to eat turkey different and clever, man this turkey goes on for ever. Can we have something else now please, put the rest in containers to freeze.
A splendid old man from Argyle Spoke of his ghosts with a smile 'They're like you and me So I just leave them be You get used to them after a while'
