Who's the Turkey Now

Well, It was early in the morning when I stuck the turkey in Looked down at my dog as I wore a silly grin Roasted Turkey, was high up on his list And He glanced up at me then looked back as his dish I guess he had me trained well for I understood his sign But told him it's a big bird and it'll have to take some time Then I started getting ready all the fixings for our feast Twenty different vegetables to complement the beast Then I set the dining the table with Knives forks and dishes Uncovering the pies Each one looked more delicious I nestled in a basket bread baked the day before and finished all the trimmings when a knock came at our door Our friends and our families started pouring in our house and greeted rather cheerfully by my kids, my dog and spouse Then, we all circled 'round the table with a smile Working all day long seemed, well worth the while It was time for the turkey Now the appetizer gone But, when I looked in the oven I forgot to turn it on.
