  • TURKEY LEGS MOVE BY ANTHONY CHARLES BLAKE

    Run Turkey Run

    Don’t even go on a prowl

    Turkey knife

    No cut

    No Cook

    No seasoning

    This Turkey is running for its very life

    I am not stopping to see the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade

    This is living that needs to be made

    No stuffing

    No eating from this turkey, and if you are disappointed, tough

    Enough is Enough

    If meat is what you want, try duck

    I will not be plucked

    You are out of luck

    I am running as far as I can go

    When I become breathless, I will move slow

    For now, I am on deadline time and all systems go

    Eventually, my turkey legs will thump me for a ride by way of hitchhike

    Being a Turkey, I am expected to be polite

    I am in a plight

    Turkey run on never to be done

    I want to live among

    I am running anywhere from any oven

    I will never be an outdoor cook out

    Speedily and Steadily heading about

    Give yourselves thanks

    This turkey is on the move

    No catch me if you can

    This Turkey is never on when

    What meat will you serve that will be something for you to prove

    I am on sooth

    Happy Thanksgiving and Turkey legs just move
