A Turkey Story

I went to pay my friend a visit.
My friend lived on a farm.
Her mother had some turkeys.
She was keeping them for Thanksgiving Day.
I tried to feed the turkeys.
When they saw me, they said “Gobble, gobble!”
One turkey was a cross gobbler.
He was such a large turkey that when I saw him, I said, “Oh, what a big bird!”
Once this big fat gobbler chased me.
I was frightened and ran as fast as I could.
