Tom Turkey Gave His All

Gobble gobble gob Mister turkey broadbreast sings, In the backyard pine. "Turkey In The Straw." What the heck! Why am I here? Oh yes! Thanksgiving! Wobbling to get here, Old Tom took his sweet, good time. Leaving chopping block! Turkey in the Pine. Surely today will be fine. On veggies they dine. Whole year soon goes by. Old Tom in contented state. Lets his safeguard down. Who spied Tom Turkey? Must have been a hungry man. Captured! Old Tom cries. Turkey gave his all. Nice juicy breast and two legs. Who can do better? Thanks be given God. Special day to remember. Gifts of love received! Now Thanksgiving Day. Thanks to all who read this piece. Keep love in your heart! Partly attributed to my friend BCD who is a turkey at heart!! lol

Nicely done poem on two chances or fates one good and the other bad. I especially liked lines 7 and 8. Keep the magical and creative pen flowing. Sara

Well the old turkey at my house didn't get a presidential party( but he did get stuffing and cranberry sauce). Thanks for the support. Ron
