The Turkey Verses

The day before Thanksgiving,
And all throughout the town
Everyone was planning
To be chowin' down

The bird they call the Turkey,
Perhaps some pumpkin pie
On this month's final Thursd'y--
A holiday of "Thanks" is why,

When banks are closed--oh my.
You'd better mail that letter soon--
Stick 37 cents on it, and let 'er fly
By Post, to get it there pre-June.

Or better yet, send email
To those you love or need to.
Write well before the big meal,
To tell what you've agreed to,

Or take your time, today--and fast
Along with Muslims all
Across the globe's land mass;
Or buy a Hanukkah prayer shawl,
Or hoist a cross of credit to the Mall
To buy a sale thing, while it lasts,
The last one of the Fall.

Or read another poem, perhaps,,
If you're relaxed, with time to pass.
