Five Little Turkeys: A Lyrics

 

Contributed by Leanne Guenther


Five little turkeys standing at the door,
One waddled off, and then there were four.
Four little turkeys sitting near a tree,
One waddled off, and then there were three.
Three little turkeys with nothing to do,
One waddled off, and then there were two.
Two little turkeys in the morning sun,
One waddled off, and then there was one.
One little turkey better run away,
For soon it will be Thanksgiving Day.

    Oh, those gobble-gobbles! :) I liked this - the rhythm and the deeper meaning tucked inside. Us Canadians had our Thanksgiving last month...so our turkeys are safe for another few weeks before the holidays arrive. :)

    Chuckles! The turkeys had better make a quick exit. Thanksgiving discriminates and turkeys are vulnerable! Nice lines Catie!
