Notes About The Poem

A Turkey In November

Gobble! Gobble! Gobble!
Quick! Quick! Quick! Please save me!
         I don't want to end up...
      on plates Thanksgiving Day!

         Take me to the leader;
         our President, I mean!
       If you could feel my dread...
          I need to be pardoned!
