We children gathered around the table. The aromas were rich and dense, we fidgeted. But we had one last thing to do - before we began the feast. We all, in our places, held hands, smiling, as my dad began to sing - and, after a beat, we all joined in. ** To the tune: “Rudolph the red nose reindeer* “Leonard the big leg turkey had two great big turkey legs and if you ever saw them you would actually say, “they’re big.” All of the other turkeys they would laugh and call him names they never let poor Leonard join in any turkey games Then one foggy Thanksgiving eve The pilgrims came to say, “Leonard with your legs so big” “How’d you like to join our Thanksgiving gig?” Then how all the turkeys loved him and they shouted out with glee “Leonard the big legged turkey,” “you’ll go down in history.” (like the light bulb) “you’ll go down in history.” “you’ll go down well with graveyyyyyyyyyy.” Happy Thanksgiving everyone! .
