Ode To Tom Tryptophan
Oh Tom, you wonderful Turkey!
Dear departing, Tom!
Each year you bring such
Tryptophan tranquility to
Our over-stimulated brains
That we welcome the stupor
Only your chemistry
Makes memorable!
Tom, you great big glorious beastie
Ready we are for the feastie
Your plucked body will bring!
Pardon our fowl
Tastes but you know that
Obama will surely pardon one of you!
Perhaps our
Hearty appetites will be content with
A cornish game hen
Next year.
