Turkey Trot Legacy

TURKEY TROT LEGACY


The Turkey's got a tip, they were taking a Thursday trip;

To a place that was hot...during a winter that was not!

Told to stuff some food away,  for their long extended stay;

The Turkeys got all excited, when they found they were all invited.


But someone put out the call, no resort called "Butterball";

So they schemed up a plan, to all disband...instigated by some Turkey named Paul!

The eve before they left, lined up for the buses in the parking lot;

Paul the Turk, being on alert gobbled, "Everybody Turkey Trot!"


Well, you never saw so much commotion, as Turkeys ran near then far;

A few of them ended up in the forest, many died at the fate of a car.

But soon things settled as showers fell open wide;

Turkeys just stared up, open beaks as a cup, most of them drowned and died!


So, the legacy of the Turkey Trot holds true;

For you bird Lovers, don't start to cry.

For some escape the table,  for the shade of a Maple...

Remember, Turkeys never did learn how to fly!


                                                 
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
