Tom’s feathers were trembling and shaking
So to combat his nerves he got baking
Cinnamon and spice
Mixed in to entice
In no time the sweets quelled the quaking

With another Thanksgiving ahead
Tom panicked...fall filled him with dread!
He started to cry
"No more pumpkin pie!"
And pulled covers over his head!

The Crown jewels of France were purloined
"Tom, help us!" the Surete enjoined
With berets on their heads
Thieves escaped on mopeds
And completed the mission conjoined!

The Turkey Trot race had begun
Tom thought it had sounded like fun
He puffed his chest, proud
And ran with the crowd...
But when would he ever be done?!🥵
