O Turkey My Turkey

O Turkey My Turkey are you about done? You’ve been in the oven since way before dawn The people; so excited are waiting and waiting For every bit of deliciousness that we are plating Mash potatoes, gravy, cranberry, yams, Green beans, Mac and cheese, and so much more All waiting for you and stuffing to come thru the door O Turkey My Turkey all tender and brown You are finally ready; for us to gobble down All of your goodness is gone with such flair Nothing left but a carcass and so much despair O Turkey My Turkey what have you done? We’re almost asleep and the days barely gone Unable to relish the desserts of today All because we had heaps of tryptophan this very day Alas, we shall doze and soon we shall savor Yummy pies, cookies and cakes with all sorts of flavor O Turkey My Turkey, you have been so dear But I’ll fall for another same time next year. 11/7/2014
