All Hail, It’s Turkey’s Day!

I thought I saw a turkey
upon the garden wall
then later saw it lurking
in the dimly lit east hall.

The deviled eggs upon the plate
had been scratched beyond repair
it all made sense, as I pondered it,
why the turkey’d be lurking there.

He would surely face the dungeon
and the man wielding an ax
if he’d get caught and harangued
for his impolite attacks.

A shadow cast upon the walls
moving toward the most west wing
a gobble and a shuffle
I could hear the turkey sing.

It would prove his undoing
to be so light and full of voice;
I guess he wasn’t worried,
thought he knew the Pres’s choice.

He flapped his wings, did a pirouette
all the way out to the garden.
I guess we’ve found that turkey wise
for the president gave pardon.

And now the day of feasting
has finally arrived.
That turkey is boasting, not basting,
for my dear, he’s quite alive!

And we can see some fish
or is it chocolate fondue?
It might be a vegetarian plate
or a sweet soybean tofu.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
