Gobble gobble gob
Mister turkey broadbreast sings,
In the backyard pine.
"Turkey In The Straw."
What the heck! Why am I here?
Oh yes! Thanksgiving!
Wobbling to get here,
Old Tom took his sweet, good time.
Leaving chopping block!
Turkey in the Pine.
Surely today will be fine.
On veggies they dine.
Whole year soon goes by.
Old Tom in contented state.
Lets his safeguard down.
Who spied Tom Turkey?
Must have been a hungry man.
Captured! Old Tom cries.
Turkey gave his all.
Nice juicy breast and two legs.
Who can do better?
Thanks be given God.
Special day to remember.
Gifts of love received!
Now Thanksgiving Day.
Thanks to all who read this piece.
Keep love in your heart!
Partly attributed to my friend BCD who is a turkey at heart!! lol
The leaves fall.
The crisp air blows against my face.
Autumn is here.
Summer is over.
No more heat waves.
For now its going to be colder days.
The leaves make a crunch sound as
I walk on the sidewalk.
The wind quietly howling
Its the season for holidays.
Kids running amok dressed like heroes or monsters.
Or freaking out in joy while watching a scary movie.
Later its the women in the kitchen cooking the turkeys
making the mashed potatoes and baking the rolls
The men watching football.
The kids watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Autumn is peaceful
Autumn is quiet.
Autumn makes me feel warm inside.
Even if its cold outside.
