Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away, which means there will soon be lots of turkey around. As a vegetarian, I stay as far away from the stuff as I can. But my dog LOVES it! Anytime she smells meat, she makes it her number one goal to snag a piece. (And due to her sneaky nature, she usually succeeds!) So to celebrate her affinity for all things savory, this month’s poem is all about “Turkey Day” . . . from the perspective of my dog!
Turkey Day
By Katie Gilstrap
I’ve heard a thing
called “Turkey Day”
is just a month away.
Does this mean
that lots of meat
will soon be on display?
Such an exhibition
shouldn’t dare be
left alone…
If I may,
I’d like to volunteer
to chaperone.
I’ll be on guard
and keep an eye
on all the precious meat.
on all the precious meat.
(And when you turn away,
I will enjoy
a hearty treat!)
