Mr. Turkey
Mr. Turkey, I hate to do this to you - so accept my apology
But come this Thanksgiving I must feed my family.
Mr. Turkey, my wife did not mean to carve you up the way she did
but those tiny slices were for our youngest - he's only a kid!
Mr. Turkey, I should not say this, but your meat was so tender and juicy
I enjoyed your "thigh" the most while watching "I Love Lucy."
Mr. Turkey at least you had company with all that "stuffing."
I thanked my wife for you but she chuckled and said "Oh it was nothing."
Mr. Turkey, I promise we will forever remember,
Because we have pictures we took on that day in November!
Note: Written for Donna Goldens contest "Turkey Tribute".... Have a blessed Thanksgiving
