The Twelve Days of Turkey!
On the first day of Christmas my true
love said to me
I'm glad we've bought a turkey and a
proper Christmas tree
On the second day of Christmas much
laughter could be heard
As we tucked into our turkey - a most
delicious bird
On the third day of Christmas we had
friends in from next door
The turkey tasted just as good as on
the day before
On the fourth day of Christmas, Gran
came--she's rather old
We finished up the Christmas pud and
ate the turkey cold
On the fifth day of Christmas,
outside the snowflakes flurried
But we were nice and warm inside--we
ate the turkey, curried
On the sixth day of Christmas the
turkey spirit died
The children fought and bickered and
we ate the turkey-fried
On the seventh day of Christmas, my
true love gave a wince
When he sat down to dinner and was
given turkey mince
On the eighth day of Christmas, the
dog ran off for shelter
I served up turkey pancakes and a
glass of Alka-Seltzer
On the ninth day of Christmas, poor
Dad began to cry
He said he couldn't stand the strain
of eating turkey pie
On the tenth day of Christmas, the
air was rather blue
And everybody grumbled at eating
turkey stew
On the eleventh day of Christmas, the
Christmas tree was moulting
Mince pies hard as rock and the
turkey quite revolting
On the twelfth day of Christmas at
last Dad smacked his lips
The guests had gone, the turkey,
too...
That's when
we dined on fish and chips!
