“Gobble, Gobble!” said the Turkey, “I’m the fairest of the fair!”
“Gobble, Gobble!” said the Turkey, “I am wanted everywhere!”
“Only this morning Mr. Farmer came to say he is having me for dinner on Thanksgiving day!”

When I was in 2nd grade I played the Turkey in our class Thanksgiving musical play. Those were the lyrics of my big solo (don’t ask me how I still remember them)…I sang them right before a big black kid named Tyrone, (Mr. Farmer) dressed as a pilgrim and armed with a surprisingly realistic looking fake musket, shot me dead, threw me over his shoulder and carried my lifeless turkey carcass off the stage.

It was my first big role. Gobble, Gobble.

Happy Thanksgiving.
