Every year it's the same old story <br />Turn away if it gets too gory <br />Certainly not a tale for the frail and meek... <br />This is a tale of how Turkey Day becomes Turkey Week! <br /> <br />Now I'm sure that my family can back this up <br />My turkey dinner is like Emeril's, only a step up <br />Stuffing's divine, gravy more delicious than wine <br />Even Martha Stewart, for a taste, would stand in line! <br /> <br />And then there's the turkey, beautiful golden brown <br />Just the smell of it brings everyone around <br />White meat so tender, dark meat with amazing flavor <br />This turkey dinner should be for anyone to savor! <br /> <br />But even with this self-proclaimed acclamation <br />can't escape the same ending; in summation... <br />My turkey, as it is yours, will overstay his welcome <br />It is Turkey Day to Turkey Week we all will succumb <br /> <br />Things are still happy from Day One to Day Two <br />Black Friday, Yippee! ! I've no cooking to do! <br />After all that damn shopping, I'm glad to have it <br />A quick flash in the microwave and we can all sit! <br /> <br />But then, alas, and on cue, comes Day Three <br />when turkey just doesn't sound as appealing to you or me <br />And already that damn Turkey has had its way... <br />You've now had half a week of Turkey Day! <br /> <br />Days Four, Five and Six go by in just a blur <br />as everyone in America will absolutely concur <br />that their Turkey, in secret, must've flown their coop <br />... until every Momma whips out their Turkey Soup! ! <br /> <br />I kinda feel sorry for the Turkey's annual situation <br />Every one of us thought, 'What if I made instead...' in assumption <br />that there's a cure for this epidemic... but the outlook is dismal <br />The endings the same, you're just changing the animal!<br /><br />Lee Degnan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-turkey-day-becomes-turkey-week/
