Thanksgiving Day Disguise

The turkey's on 
Old man Johnson's farm
All wised up this year

Logging on
To Amazon
About mid November

With Halloween out of the way
They were bound to save
On the items they would need

Which worked out great 
Cause all they could afford to pay
Was in scratched up chicken feed

The pigs helped in
The ordering
As it's a well known fact

That being turkey's 
They're always in a hurry
And ain't nobody got time for that

They saved up extra seed
For quick delivery
When you're on the cliffs edge dancing

Coming down to it
This being life or death
There's no need to take chances

In the nick of time
The package arrived
On the day before

The fateful day
Known to our hero's as shake and bake
November 24th 

On that morning when
Old man Johnson then
With ax in hand stepped outside

Where he tried to think
Had he ever seen 
So many cows in his life

In between the moo's 
He heard a gobble or two
Which in itself is very strange

Plus the Amazon bill
For umpteenth costume cows
He just can't quite explain
