Basketball season has arrived for my brother Stephen, so I am mother's guest writer today.
I wanted to share with you my Turkey song I learned at school.
Mom thought it was so funny that we decided this would be my post.
I wish I could sing it to you myself...but this will have to do instead.
I did put in my Turkey pictures.
Mom will see you again soon...thanks for stopping by - Her son - Benjamin
A Turkey Followed Me Home
Walking home from school one day, along a lovely street. When from behind me came a noise, the sound of tiny feet.
I spun around to see a bird, my jaw dropped to the ground. A turkey stood in front of me, his wattle swinging ‘round.
Turkey, turkey, go away! Please don’t follow me! I am going to my home and it’s not safe for thee!
Turkey, turkey go away! Let me make this clear. It’s Thanksgiving week, you see so please get out of here!

(Kid 1): But he followed me home anyway (Kid 2): Shoo! Go on! Git! Ohhh!
I hid him in the basement and I hid him in my room. I covered him with laundry, but there wasn’t wiggle room.
I tried to find the perfect place. I looked and looked and looked. For if I could not keep him hid, his goose was surely cooked!

(Kid 3): Thanksgiving came, Thanksgiving went….(Kid 4): Yeah, you were lucky. THIS time.
When December rolled around, we thought the coast was clear. I saw the turkey to the door. He had a cool veneer.
Keeping turkeys out of sight is not an easy thing. Take my advice, you turkey, you, and don’t come back ‘til spring!

A very cute song and turkeys. Thanks Benjamin:)
Benjamin, that's awesome! I'm so glad you shared that. As soon as my boys get home from school I'm going to show them this Thanksgiving turkey song.
Have a great day!
The Turkey song is cute!
And so are the pictures...
Thank you so much for sharing this special thanksgiving post, Benjamin.
Wishing your whole family a happy Thanksgiving!
Benjamin - what a great guest post! I loved the turkey photos you shared, and the song was really cute, too. I know, I have always felt sorry for the turkey, too. Maybe this Thanksgiving I'll just eat the potatoes and the stuffing...what do you think?!
GOD BLESS!
What a great job you did Benjamin. Tell Mommy I have missed her and am back to blogging so look forward to catching up :)
Benjamin you are just adorable!
I loved it! You did a wonderful job guest blogging, and your turkey hand art is very good; it give me ideas for Sunday school. Thank you Benjamin!
Hey Benjamin....you're one pretty amazing kid. I loved this and wish you a big happy thanksgiving
I loved it!! And, great turkeys!! blessings ~ tanna
Bravo! Encore! That's cute, and I wish that I could hear you sing it too. I wish I knew the tune, but in my head I just made up one of my own.
And the turkey crafts? They're pretty wonderful too.
How I miss having a five year old!
And btw, hope the hoop season is going well, too.
Very cute! You did a good job standing in for your mom. I would like to see you post again, Benjamin. And I love your pictures too. I bet you do a great job singing the song too.
Benjamin, I loved it! I remember singing this song with my kids when they were little....a long time ago.
Thanks for filling in for your mom. You did an EXCELLENT job!!
Good job on the turkey art. I have never heard that song but it was well done, even in writing.
I loved this little song. And you are going to have a lot of turkeys to shoo out of the house from all those great looking turkey art projects you made. Do you think they are maybe out of danger? Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Well, I just loved it! :)
Happy Thanksgiving. Hope you are doing well. ...Marsha
