Turkey Day

You shoulden been so greedy
And at the feedbox shoven'.
For every four pounds that you gained
It's an hour in the oven.

I'm sorry if yur Thanksgiven'
Is somethin' less than happy.
You shoulda listened to your ma
When she tole about your pappy.

She said that he was greedy;
Chased the others from the trough.
He was so big and looked so good,
They chopped his proud head off.

Yur brothers what you bested
Will live for another year.
I grab the biggest drumstick
And brush away a tear.

I beat my brothers to that leg
And I'm feelin' kinda perky.
I'm thankful this Thanksgiven' Day,
I wasen born a turkey.

A lesson for all us "Turkeys".  Don't be a "PIG". Still laughing can't wait to send this to my grandchildren.
