Thought I’d barbeque something different this Fourth of July

My chum in England, Mr. Piddles, suggested a turkey I try

He said the Fourth in England is like Thanksgiving Day

“Please let me send you a plump one, straight away!”

So he graciously sent me a Butterball via Federal Express

Proclaiming that British turkeys are simply the best

But I think I got a massive hernia when I lifted the box

These big British turkeys weigh as much as an ox

It took several of my neighbors to help me shove it into my grill

But I must say the aroma is tantalizing, and my family is thrilled

We should have plenty of leftovers from our big barbeque

Probably even enough extras to make turkey stew

The MOD Squad is flying in for this barbeque

From fighting the bad guys, they need a break, too

Unfortunately, The Queen has sent her regrets

She says she’s busy, hasn’t finished Bug Life yet

And my two dogs are ecstatic, and their tails do thump

I’ve promised my pets they can feast on this turkey’s rump

And now it truly does feel like Thanksgiving this July

We’ve got turkey, ice cold beer, and American pie

Pip, Pip, Tally Ho; I’m off now to the big BBQ feast

This British turkey is delicious, and truly ‘A Beast’

A Happy Thanksgiving, To Each and Everyone

These British traditions are FUN, FUN, FUN!
