Turkey In a Tailspin

'Tis a twisted, tawdry tale !! Poor Tom the Turkey is in a tizzy !!! Tom's tongue is in a tangle, too terrified to talk ! Taunts and threats taking a toll Tormented by a tip from tattle-tale townfolk That Tom's in trouble! Tom's time is ticking !! Tom the Turkey so terribly tramautized !! Trapped in terror.... Teary Tom is taking tranquilizers, Tablespoons of tonics.... Trying to tame the tension and trepidation ! Tiptoeing through tall timber... Trapezing through treetops ! Tongue-tied and tearfully trembling.. Taking tactics, trying not to tempt... Those tyranical terriorists who torture and Trace Tom's tracks... Tom the turkey in a tailspin Told he's targeted for termination !!... Tagged to be Thanksgiving treats and tidbits... A tasty trophy topping Thanksgiving tables !! This tale, this traversty, truely terrible !! TRAGIC !!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P !!!!!!!!!!! L !!!! E ^^ H 0 <<< xx xx ______________________________________________ Revised for Donna Golden's "Turkey Tribute Contest
