Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving

Twas the night before Thanksgiving
And all through the forest
All the turkeys were gathered
From the richest to poorest

For a meeting was called
To plan their revenge
For all of their loved ones
Who were ever cooked or singed

Now this turkey rebellion
Was long overdue
How would they get even?
And what would they do?

I was there that night
When their meeting adjourned
Keep reading this poem 
To see what I learned

This meeting went on
For what seemed like an hour
Til a gobbler stepped forth
In their circle of power

Now all the turkeys agreed
To the gobbler's idea
They'd all eat some exlax
And give them diarrhea

No matter how they cooked it
Baked it or boiled it
The humans would spend
All day on the toilet

So, remember this Thanksgiving
As you try to relax
Have plenty of TP
For those sudden attacks

Oh, I LOVE the humor in this poem, Larry!!! Imagine turkeys resorting to such a means of revenge. Quite effective. I would probably never want to eat turkey again! Love, Carolyn
