Tom Got Lucky This Year (Turkey day Challenge)
by Anne EngelenIts true what youve just heard<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Tom got lucky thats the word
He got his ticket at the annual turkey fair
and won first prize, so there
For him its a feast
he wont end up as a slaughtered beast
Not as dinner, but as a guest
hes invited to Washington D.C.
The president will personally shake his wing
while the national anthem they will sing
His prize: a presidential pardon
granting Tom another year of freedom
A worthwhile Thanksgiving
for Tom another year of living!
