Another Day
| by Doris Fenner |
| This poem was written in response to the group's quarterly challenge to write a poem on a given topic. Having just emerged from the Christmas and New Year's festivities, it seemed appropriate to choose "Celebration" as our topic on this occasion. |
The parties are over,the tree and tinsel packed away.
Everyone has had such a wonderful day. Friends and family celebrate, each in their own way. I most of all--for I am the turkey that got away To live and celebrate another day! ! The New Year arrives cold and grey. But I'm alright in my nest of hay. For I am the turkey that got away. To live and celebrate another day. The children are noisy with snowballs and sleigh. But I'm alright in my bed of hay. For I am the turkey that got away. To celebrate another day. On a nice day I strut and preen And chase the horses,who are supreme. Kicking me out of their stable. I'm jolly glad I wasn't meant for the table. The farmer, nice chap! has found me a mate. Not 1 or 2 but about 8! I thought ' whack ho ' I can celebrate. But now I'm worried about me fate! I hoped I'd go on forever, But me feathers are falling, and me legs are tired, It's time for me to call it a day, So, it's back to me nest,where I will stay. © Doris Fenner |
