A Turkey that dashed from the kitchen
But there was a good reason
A holiday bird that no one should eat
Turkey’s unite as we need to retreat
Why be plucked like we are a duck
Turkeys run wild as we are running amuck
The idea of the hatchet aiming for the Turkey neck
Why should a Turkey just let
As Gloria Gaynor song that comes to mind with a different version, “A Turkey shall survive”
We are determined to be alive
Gobble your fork for some other meat
Yet its Thanksgiving and please have a seat
As we gather together it won’t be Turkey meat
Since the pig wants to be a ham
The am will be eating a yam
This is the time to give thanks
Reflect on the past, present and future
Thanks to the Pilgrims in making their way
This is a remembrance on this day
As the Pilgrims and the Indians united together
The world shares thanks like no other
But this Thanksgiving will be a feast of another
That Turkey is still on the run
I guess the Thanksgiving dinner will not be fun
As far as my story goes, I am done.
