The Fabulous Christmas Turkey
The Fabulous Christmas Turkey
By Elton Camp
It was the first Christmas party for the new bride
That the in-laws were coming she took in stride
She wasn’t too much worried about it anymore
Although she had never cooked a turkey before
The one she bought came fresh from the farm
Saying it hadn’t been frozen should add charm
To hubby she said, “I want to impress your mother.
For she thinks you should have married another.”
She got cooking instructions from the Internet
That it would be a success she was willing to bet
Sure enough, it turned out luscious and brown
To the dinner table she proudly brought it around
The mother-in laws’ words brought her good cheer
“It looks wonderful! What did you stuff it with, dear?”
It was with a puzzled look on her face that she cried,
“It wasn’t empty. There was already plenty inside.”
