Tommy Or Harry

My name is Tommy
But if I had my way,
I'd change it to Harold
And gobble all day.

I like the name Harry,
Like my friend Harry Mole
But he thinks that Tommy
Is the grandest of all.

But tradition has it
From long, long ago
It takes Tommy Turkey
To make Thanksgiving Day glow.

I'd sure hate to disappoint
The children that way
So I'll just stay Tommy
And be King for a day.
