Carol Sunshine Brown Poet Couplet

Tom

He was a very handsome lad
A very good life he had

Out proud he held his chest
More beautiful then the rest

So it was him that we picked
The others were very ticked

They didn't realize how lucky they were
As we took Tom and walked out the door

I sat here today and my fingers I did lick
This was the best turkey we ever picked
