Thankful

Henrietta referred to as "Hen" Glanced lovingly at her mate,Tom Thankful today was Thanksgiving Their kids Jake and Jenny now calm Tom said they should all be so glad They survived to see morning light There were those not lucky as them When everyone had to take flight When finding their food they would gobble Happily in the snow they would strut How should turkeys feel on thanksgiving? IF not thankful then I don't know what!

RETIRED RAM There once was a ram who retired, who really was terribly tired. Having serviced the lot, he should have have been shot. But the gun thankfully backfired. I see your turkeys have joined the club. Good one Pat.
