Reasons for Banning Turkey on Thanksgiving
by Thomas T. Turkey


Turkey wasn't part of the Thanksgiving feast; 
Deer was the original beast. 

Ham is so healthy and tasty too, 
and makes a great sandwich later for you. 

Anyone can do the traditional dinner, 
do something different! Now you're a winner. 

No meat! Now that's a great way. 
Vegetarians are the best any day! 

Kitchen duty is the pits, we all know that. 
Give mom the day off, and eat a Big Mac. 

Save room for dessert, there's GreatGrandma's pie! 
You know it's the best, now I wouldn't lie. 

Grab something quick, the game's on today. 
If you eat a big meal, you might miss a great play. 

Ice cream is nice, make a big float. 
It's the holidays now, your waistline won't bloat. 

Visit your relatives, they like you a lot. 
And tell them about the new things you bought. 

If all else fails, there's always the phone. 
Call in a pizza and eat it alone. 

Go have some fun, but consider my words. 
Thanksgiving wouldn't be fun if you were the bird.
