*Hello Mr. Turkey<\/em> (to the tune of If You\u2019re Happy and You Know It):
\nHello, Mr. Turkey
\nHello Mr. Turkey, how are you?
\nHello Mr. Turkey, how are you?
\nWith a gobble, gobble, gobble
\nand a wobble, wobble, wobble
\nHello Mr. Turkey how are you?<\/p>\n**Mr. Turkey\u2019s Feathers<\/em>
\n(Make a flannel of a turkey sans feathers. Also make red, blue, green, orange, yellow, purple, black, white and brown feather pieces to add to the turkey as the rhyme progresses.)
\nMr. Turkey was so sad,
\nHe lost the feathers he once had.
\nNow he wants us to help him find
\nAll the feathers of his kind.
\nWe will look both high and low,
\nWe will find them, don\u2019t you know.
\nHere\u2019s a RED one and a BLUE,
\nLook, we\u2019ve found a GREEN one, too.
\nHere\u2019s an ORANGE one and a YELLOW,
\nSoon he\u2019ll be a feathered fellow.
\nNow we\u2019ve found the PURPLE one,
\nBLACK and WHITE, we\u2019re almost done.
\nIf we just look up and down.
\nI know we\u2019ll find the feather BROWN.
\nNow Mr. Turkey is so glad,
\nFor we have found the feathers he once had!<\/p>\n***Five Hungry Pilgrims<\/em> (Source unknown)
\nFive hungry pilgrims were in a grumpy mood.
\nThe first one said, “I’m ready for some food!”
\nThe second one said, “Some turkey would be nice.”
\nThe third one said, “Or a pumpkin pie slice.”
\nThe fourth one said, “Mashed potatoes, please.”
\nThe fifth one said, “And some nice green peas!”
\nWith a chew and a gulp and a munch, munch, munch,
\nThe five little pilgrims were a happy bunch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gobble, gobble… it’s nearly Turkey Time!
