'Twas a week 'til Thanksgiving,
and down on the farm
The turkeys knew someone
was planning them harm.
Their courageous leader,
Gobbler McQueen,
Said "We're getting out--
we're blowing his scene.
"Tonight at twelve,
we're making a break.
When Thanksgiving comes,
let them eat steak."
Clouds covered the moon
that October night
When two hundred turkeys
prepared for their flight.
But problems arose,
when one said with a sigh,
"It ain't gonna work--
we forgot how to fly."
Gobbler McQueen said
"I've got a new plan--
a way to escape
that sizzling pan.
"We'll steal the farmer's
old pickup truck
and head for the hills,
with a bit of good luck."
"But Gobbler," said one,
"do you know how to drive?
"Who cares?" said Gobbler.
"We'll still be alive."
And Gobbler cried out,
as the truck sped away,
"Enjoy your Kraft Dinner
on Thanksgiving Day."

This looks like a book to me. I put a link up to faecebook and as a result Sue Cruickshank read it and she thinks you should publish this. Whatever you do with it, it is a lovely read.
