***TURKEY CRAZY***
It was Thanksgiving from Hell in the Smith family
that cold November day the turkey broke free.
He ran around the kitchen with the carving knife,
said, “I’ll kill you, your children and wife!
Nobody’s gonna be carving me today.
No one’s gonna sit and over my dead body pray!”
Then crazed turkey held the mashed potatoes hostage
and said, “I’ll poison him and every one in the fridge.
Now go to the supermarket and buy another like me,
then you can have a happy Thanksgiving on me
as I’m runnin’ lose and fancy free like I oughta be,
out this door, down this street and finally free!”
Suddenly radishes attacked and he slipped on Mr. Butter.
He landed on the knife and said, “We should have stuck together.
Not one of us would have had to go to acid town.
Now we’re all doomed, in Sour County we’ll drown!”
“But, you know we have a tradition that we have to stick by,”
said Mr. Broccoli, “You know today is the day we all must die.
There’s always one coward fool who always cries.
You should have taken it like a turkey that’s willing to die.”
And so the Smith’s had a happy Thanksgiving Day after all
and blessed each yummy one before they stuffed themselves full.
On that thankful day we heard the last of that crazy turkey
with his final words being, “don’t forget the gravy!”
