Poor Tom turkey is running,
he's doing the turkey trot,
he's running to save his life,
from the roasting pot.
He keeps saying gobble gobble,
but I just don't understand,
every time I try to roast him,
he jumps out of the pan.
I have ruffled his feathers,
now he looks really mad,
he's starting to flap his wings,
on no, now he looks so sad.
I bet he will taste juicy
a full breasted butterball,
he has two real nice turkey legs,
there is no fat on them at all.
So get the turkey baster,
and tie his legs real tight,
he knows it is Thanksgiving Day,
this turkey is going to fight.
He's still saying gobble gobble,
I still don't know what he said,
I guess the only thing left to do,
is to chop off his ugly head.
Well poor Tom is in the oven,
and the house is smelling so fine,
let's drink to old Tom turkey,
toast him with a glass of wine.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY

Poor turkey!But oh so tasty! Well done on such a cute write. It was a great way to make me smile and cute my early morning blues. (I'm only a teenager so I don't fully function till at least noon)

ROFL! While I must admit this actually seems a bit horrifying, LOL, and the ASPCA is surely out to find you, my twisted humor really enjoyed this! I loved you cutting off his ugly head. LOL
Very nicely rhymed.
Thanks so much for the entry!

Let's all drink to Tom the Turkey
Being an Aussie and not celebrating Thanks Giving I feel very lucky to not have to put up with Poultry like that.
I hope Tom tasted nice and you enjoy him as much as I did this poem!
Thumbs Up!
