The turkey tries to duck this holiday,
sadly does not succeed.
Maybe he should ham it up,
but, no beefs allowed,
nothing fishy of course,
not get too squirrely, chicken out
or play possum,
but lie down
as gently as a lamb
and hope the axe falls
rabbitly
so he can feed all the kids
and the old geese-ers,
wish that Chinese
is not just for Christmas,
that vegan becomes the law.
