The Turkey A L'Orange Is Ready

I'm neither talking about the turkey Who’s running for President Nor the one which is a country Now embroiled And roiled in turmoil I am talking about the huge pheasant That we all like to fest on the last Thursday Of November every year, and on New Year’s Day. I can’t wait to enjoy its thighs and wings I can’t wait afterwards to make the swings Squeak and cry, because we all weigh more Than before: the skinny, the rich and the poor. Happy Thanksgiving Day everybody The President already pardoned a gorgeous turkey.
