GOBBLER Written for the Times-Recorder Barnyard, u. s. a„ Nov. 26. What do you mean, * THANKS giving? I ask after having discovered the “key" to turkey. I’ve been feasted and fed Till I’m heavy as lead; Oh, they’ve given me food that was fine. But today I found out What the fuss was about And tomorrow I’m gonna get mine. EVERY time I have picked up a kernel of com, it was a peck of trouble. Right now I’m struttin’ my stuff—but wait— • I There had to be some mighty good reason for the way I’ve been fed—and there was: They’ve ben fixin’ the ax Till no sharpness it lacks. It’s a sight that’s displeasing to see. The grindstone is singin’, While swingin’ and swingin’ And soon ’twill be swingin’ on me. i SUCH wonderful., treat ment, plus the fact that they’ve been sharpening the ax for my sole benefit, per haps should go to my head. It will! And I don't mean the treat ment. Whatever I have done I'm gonna be picked to pieces for it. And then, day after tomor row: If there’s fairness at all, Everyone will recall Just how lovely and tasty 1 looked. Then, they soon will forget, And I’ll lay you a bet That the next day my hash will be cooked- THAT’S bad enough. (All hash is.) But I stoll ..have a service to per form. And I won’t have back bone enough left to refuse to do it. They will still call me game, But I won’t look the same As I did when I lived in a coop. Oh, the thought of it’s grim, Yet I’ll be in the swim, Or, in other words, right in the soup. I I T’S more appropriate for me to say cranberries, than raspberries. But 1 mean it the same way. If a turkey could laugh I’d sure get a good one out of the expression THANKS giving. When it comes to that THANKS stuff, where do 1 come in?
