Turkey Time
Mistletoe, Holly-berries, Ginger-cake to cat; Pennies for the vagabond Singing in the street; Apples for the little girls, Crackers for the boys, Paper caps, brandy snaps, And painted, wooden toys. But, gentlefolk, remember, Before it is too late, That Gobble-gobble Turkey And his Gobble-gobble mate. The Gobble-gobble Turkey, Look what they've done for him. Some will have their stockings filled, Some prefer a tree, Others have a picture-book Or trifle for their tea; But the Gobble-gobble Turkey, They take him by the scruff, They boil him in a saucepan For as long as he is tough, Then they serve him up at tabic ; So that tee can sit and stuff — And it’s not much fun for him. —Sent by Jacqueline, Ohau.
