I know you didn’t put
Tom turkey under here.
Where did he go?
Can’t find him anywhere!
Dinner time counting down
We really must stuff that bird.
Was that gobble, gobble
I just heard?
Gravy on the stove top.
Hot mitt on my hand.
Where did that bird fly off to?
Where did he land?
You say you found him?
Sitting over where?
Acting like a feather duster?
On the bureau near the chair?
Not a feather duster?
A timepiece instead?
Oh, not a timepiece?
A lamp is what you said.
You see, I can’t hear you because I’m standing on my head

Did you Laugh? Trying to keep it short as per your request but the rest of this just tumbled out.....
But bring me the feather duster.
Because dust is what I see.
Bring the timepiece too.
While I’m on bended knee.
We’ll get this mess all cleaned up,
and cook that goofy bird.
Dinner will be served on time!
With that you’ve got my word!
