I am on the prowlLooking for tasty fowl I roam the prairieLooking carefully I spot a lone turkeyI am filled with glee I take aim with my bowHitting the bird with my arrow We’ll have a tasty feastThanks to the beast Vi cooked it up masterfullyThe meat is succulent and juicy Our Thanksgiving was greatI…
