Here's another one in the Thanksgiving Spirit
WHEN DADDY CARVES THE TURKEY
By Jack Prelutsky
From IT’S THANKSGIVING
When Daddy carves the turkey,
it is really quite a site.
I know he tries his hardest,
but he never does it right.
He makes a fancy show of it
before he starts to carve,
and stabs in all directions
while we’re certain that we’ll starve.
He seems to take forever
as we sit and shake our heads
by the time he’s finished slicing
he’s reduced the bird to shreds.
He yells as loud as thunder
just before he’s finally through
for when Daddy carves the turkey,
Daddy carves his finger too.
