THE THANKSGIvING TURKEY THAT GOT AWAY

THE THANKSGIvING TURKEY THAT GOT AWAY 

There once was a turkey

His name was tom

He was going be a cooked bird

But he jumped out of the oven

And ran around the kitchen

And out the front door

The chase was on

For the thanksgiving turkey was on

The chase was on

The chase was on

The thanksgiving turkey that got away

Hope he has

Exiting he is

The chase was on

The chase was on

Thanksgiving turkey

Having a dream of freedom

 A delight it is

No turkey today

No end to the dinner

Very grand it is with the family

Giving thanks for all they have

If tom had not gotten away

No but he did

Gracefully he did

The chase was on

The chase was on

Turkey got away

Under the table maybe

Running through the house maybe maybe  not

Keeping to the sky

Eating tom is against his wishes

You do not have to eat him

The chase was on

The chase was on

For the thanksgiving turkey

Got away he did

Oh what a dream

Turkey oh so good

The chase was on

The chase was on

Away he went

Wonders he say

A delight he is

Young and old gather

The chase was on

The chase was on

For tom the turkey

For the thanksgiving

It's an alright poem [ not your best but not you're weakest either ] but a well - written tribute to Thanksgiving it is . Some parts of the poem didn't match and felt out of the place in some parts and alittle disjointed but if you can see your own mistakes and errors in this poem , it'll be enough to save it and sustain it all. I'm not going to be over- critical as it's a write about thanksgiving and it's suppose to be a fun one but sometimes it's not fun when noticing the errors but overall you know what i'm saying .

Hi Allen, I am just getting around reading all my reading requests over here at http://writerscafe.org and I am dreadfully slow at it. This is not one of your better poems but it is cute. Lucie

Haha, this is cute for a Thanksgiving poem. I like this... maybe add some commas, punctuation... capitalize name and holiday.

THAT WAS FUN! MADE ME SMILE. WHO CARES ABOUT FORMALITY! IT'S ALL ABOUT FUN AND SELF EXPRESSION.

A delightful and fun poem. As I read this I had a vision of a totally featherless, headless and legless turkey running about and in his escape!
