ALTHOUGH IT HAS BECOME A FAMILY TRADITION

 

Although it has become a family tradition 

Not everyone over eats on Thanksgiving

And of course I’m referring to the Turkeys

Because they were stuffed in the beginning

MY FAMILY ALL TOLD ME TO STOP

 

My family all told me to stop

Telling Thanksgiving jokes,

But I had to say no, as I wasn’t

One of those “cold turkey” blokes

MUM WAS DETERMINED

This year, Mum was determined, for the first time,

To have the happy time the family had lacked

So, when she was preparing the bird for the oven

She stuffed the Turkey with sage, onion and Prozac!

THE THANKSGIVING TURKEY

 

The Thanksgiving Turkey

Risked being stricken

When he crossed the road

To prove he wasn't chicken!

BURNING GUY FAWKES

Whitehall Civil Servants took control

Of the Bonfire on that fateful date

One of them struck the match, while

The rest filled forms in triplicate


AT THE APPLE BONFIRE NIGHT PARTY

At the Apple Bonfire Night party

One struck the match to ignite the birch

And as the fire burned six of his colleagues

Were in a huddle designing the merch 

BURNING GUY FAWKES, THE H&S WAY

Health and Safety were in charge

Of lighting the Bonfire this year

One of them struck the match

And ten more held an extinguisher
