A SALUTE TO A NOBLE TOM TURKEY
THANKSGIVING 2015

The man crept near, a hidden axe
And gave old Tom a couple whacks
Old Tom lay stunned upon the ground
His worth a nifty buck a pound
Buck naked then into the pan
High heat the skin to crinkly tan
The family here from near and far
Arriving both by train and car
We all agreed we much enjoyed
The festive day, joy unalloyed
And what with cole slaw, coffee, pie
Tom gave to us his life, while I
Reflected on the yearly fest
And knew that we were truly blest

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ONE AND ALL
