The Turkeys' Dinner Party

Danna the Turkey
Is coming for Dinner.
Thomas the Turkey
Is already here.

There's every reason
To believe
This is going to be
A very great Year!

Fixins & Trimmings
Will be all around
The Thanksgiving table
Will surely abound.

Goodies & Treats
Will be ours to enjoy.
The company of friends
Is better than a toy!

Tom Turkey

Tommy Tom Tom
The Terrific Turkey
Met a new friend
Named Turkey Turkey Tom Trace.

To our great surprise
They had nothing to fear.
For everyone knew
This would be a great year.

One person, then two
Then three and four
All come to our family's
Decorated front door.

They all came inside
To see a lot more,
For they knew for sure
That no one would be bored.

Games & toys and
Dolls & more
All were strewn
About the floor.

Delighted and happy
With so much more
Everyone felt
They were quite adored.

Thanksgiving Day
Was a happy event.
When everyone ate
Til they were quite spent!
