The Thanksgiving Turkey Revolt

On Thanksgiving Day
The feast started late
The big bird, Mr. Turkey
was having a problem
He refused to go quietly
Into the oven

The turkey stood up
Screaming
What is wrong with you people?
You are going to burn me alive?

What have I done to you?
Why can’t you just pardon me

Like the President did
I mean, I am cuter than Peter Butter
And Jelly anyway

The turkey grabbed a knife
And killed the guests

Running out into the dark
Joining all the other
Suddenly, "woke" turkeys
All screaming

"I am mad as hell
and not going to take it anymore
Death to all humans."

That was the day
that went down
As the Thanksgiving
Turkey revolt.
