Poem: A Turkey named Frye (Story in Five Limerick Stanzas)

There once was a turkey named Frye who shouted "I don't want to die as somebody's dinner!" But the odds became thinner as September, October went by. And so our hero named Frye decided he wanted to fly. So he boarded a plane instead of the train his ordained fate to defy. He crisscrossed the world many times He took a boat up the Rhine went to France and Peru and then Timbuktu crossed the International Date Line. The dreaded day came and went He went to the post and sent a single postcard in words written large "THANKSGIVING CAN GET BENT!" He forgot a simple fact that holidays were still intact and so he was able to grace the Christmas table in a way he could never come back.
