Vegetarian Thanksgiving

Tofu shaped like a bird something else made of bean curd Glub of globs passing for grub with the texture of slime left from a slug Vegetarian Thanksgiving you got to be kidding If the pilgrims had this to eat they would have gone back to Europe in defeat It's just not Thanksgiving without meat Thanksgiving dinner won't be complete Turkey, ham or even a goose if it's leafy and green that's abuse Prime rib, duck or even fish if you want to be thankful eat a meat dish This is a time for caring a time for sharing a time to be thankful and atone by sinking your teeth into roasted flesh ripping it from the bone. Vegetarian Thanksgiving not while I'm living Feed me that golden brown turkey with twelve cornish hens And a bucket of KFC chicken surrounded by a platter of sliced glazed ham Now I'm thankful, I'm thankful Oh Lord lets dig in.
