Gobble, Gobble, Gobble

Two days until Thanksgiving in the US. Turkey is traditionally on the American Thanksgiving menu. While I was processing these photos to post, I thought about a song I learned about 50 years ago.



I heard Mr Turkey say
Gobble, gobble, gobble
Soon will be Thanksgiving Day
Gobble, gobble, gobble



People say it is great fun
But I think that I shall run
And hide until the day is done
Gobble, gobble, gobble
