A limerick
The turkey speaks before dinner

         Kalkunen snakkar før middagen**

Yes, I know that you think I should flee
but I live in the land of the free.
So I'll peck at my feed
as they chop up the swedes.*
What could possibly happen to me!

*swede is another name for rutabaga (a bit of a Sven/Ole joke)
