Turkey On the Table

T hanksgiving, yes that's when we have delicious Tom Turkey.
                                                  He has 2 drumsticks on the end of his  feeT... 
U nderneath Old Tom is a big fat juicy breast. 
                             Some people on Thanksgiving prefer just the breast do yoU
R unning to and fro in the field, it's hard to catch Old Tom.  
                                           If this were a movie Old Tom would be the  staR
K eeping fat and sassy, he stays ready until 
                              a few days before Thanksgiving, and guess who they seeK
E veryone is ready to see that rascal roasted golden 
                                 brown and sitting on a platter in the middle of the tablE
Y es the turkey is stuffed and on the table ready. 
                                Everyone count your blessings. For it's Thanksgiving DaY
