sorry, just had to throw this one in.......

(don't know how to make it look purty with all that html stuff, sorry)

Williams' Portion

When we have Christmas (thanksgiving) turkey
All cooked so nice and brown,
My Pa, he carves each one a slice
and passes it around
He gives to every one but me
The part that they select,
And when I pass my plate, he says
Here Willie, here's the neck.

Ma always says "Oh anything"
But Pa gives here the breast,
And Uncle Joe, he takes a leg,
The part that I like best.
And Grandma says "Oh I dunno,
I'll take a wing I 'spect"
And Pa, all smiles says, "Jess so,
Here Willie, here's the neck"

When sister Susan's asked to choose
She says "I'll take a thigh"
And brother George he gets his slice
with stuffin' piled up high
And so it goes, until, O dear,
that turkeys jest a wreck.
When Pa at last says, "Willie here"
And Willie get the neck

Now I've been thinking quite a while
I hope it is no sin,
That sposin' turks went out of style
And other birds came in.
An sposin' stead of turkey
Pa had ostrich to dissect
I wonder would he say, "Aha,
Here Willie, Here's the neck!"

enjoy..

happy thanksgiving.....
