Poem
The turkey king struts around the yard this year Nothing is to bother him he has nothing to fear With Christmas around the corner he has to be brave He has lots of Christmas turkeys that he must save The butchers are sharpening their knives already The turkey king is very wise, old and steady All the turkeys are gobbling around the yard Making their escape will be dangerous and hard ‘Await my orders’ the turkey king does shout All the turkeys are gobbling and running about The turkey king see’s a big black van arrive This is his chance to keep his turkeys alive As the big black van doors open the turkey king see’s ‘Ok turkeys, now’s the time, be off with thee’ Turkey’s gobble as they run into the big black van They all run through the doors as fast as they can Those turkeys are the kings now as they end up on the table The turkey king thought he’d saved them all but he wasn’t able He will never know what happened to his turkey clan Next year he will do the same again to help them if he can Proud is the mighty turkey that sits in pride of place With its stuffing cooked perfectly we will feed our face The turkey king will not adorn the Christmas meal The meat on this old turkey king has lost its appeal 'Entered in Donna's contest'
