~> A True Turkey Tale!

Thad Wilk

Turkey:

Well Doc here are all the facts.

It seems lately I can't relax.

I get the same nightmare each night.

Over and over 'till daylight.

Someone attacks me with an AXE?

 

Psychiatrist:

Tom, it's Thanksgiving this Thursday.

I can't blame you for feeling that way.

That day most humans celebrate.

Turkey and stuffing's on their plate.

I've a "safe room" if you want to stay!

 

Turkey:

You are my best friend thanks a lot.

You've helped me out of a tight spot.

That night, real relaxed Tom did feel.

BUT, now his nightmare's became real!

An axe to the head poor Tom got.

 

Moral:

Even best friends 'lie' when hungry!

The psychiatrists family.

Thought Tom Turkey was real yummy~
