If I Were a Thanksgiving Turkey---
If I were a Thanksgiving Turkey...
I would look both ways
I would listen for hunters
I would watch out for crackling sounds
I would want to live out my life
if I were a Thanksgiving Turkey...
I would smell for those humans
I would taste the ground they walk on
I would be stuffed with my head full of knowledge
I would wish for more time to hide out
I would gobble up my request Hey, would you just eat something else
(how bout chicken) gobble
gobble
gobble
