  "Oh! Gobble! Gobble! Gobble! Oh! The Turkey-world is full of woe!" So Grandma Turkey sadly gobbles As in her coop she lamely wobbles. "This woe is caused by people's germs Which are much smaller than wee worms Yet cause great trouble on this earth And drive away all joy and mirth. "When I was young the turkeys then They lost their turklettes now and then When wintry winds came howling round And chilly snow fell on the ground From one disease, DECAPIDITIS, But now we have appendicitis While it is pleasant summer weather And we should scarcely lose a feather. "Our poor weak throats are the receiver And many a diphtheratic germ Which causes us in pain to squirm, Extincting all of our fine race So common birds must take our place." |
