The Turkey’s Done a Runner.
There was an old traditional farmer called Fred.
Who liked his organic turkey, healthy and fresh.
All year allowed to run free in the barn and field.
Until Christmas time then it\'s life it had to yield.
Christmas Eve he would pluck, remove his head.
Stuff it and started cooking before he went to bed.
This Christmas on going to find his nice fresh bird.
Fred found the field empty there was no bird there.
The whole family were gathered for a Christmas treat.
Now old Fred didn\'t have any meat for anyone to eat.
Seated at the table in anticipation of a tasty fresh bird.
Little mutterings among the guests started to be heard.
Plates piled to the brim with just potatoes and vegetables.
Fred got tired of his guest’s mutterings around the table.
Eventually he had to apologise for no meat on the plate.
But Freds nice fresh organic Turkey had made his escape.
