Albuquerque Turkey
(sung to the tune of "Clementine")
Albuquerque is a turkey
And he's feathered and he's fine
And he wobbles and he gobbles
and he's absolutely mine.
He's the best pet that you can get..
Better than a dog or cat.
He's my Albuquerque turkey
And I'm awfully proud of that.
He once told me , very frankly
he preferred to be my pet,
not the main course at my dinner,
and I told him not to fret.
And my Albuquerque turkey
is so happy in his bed,
'Cause for our Thanksgiving dinner...
We had egg foo yong instead.
Students are asked to read this poem to three people at home. (Don't forget to call Grandma and Grandpa- I know they love to hear poems!)
Then: on a piece of lined paper, write down the words that you found in the poem that rhyme, write what the poem is mostly about (main idea), who the author is (sometimes it's anonymous), and what you liked best.
Finally, draw a picture that illustrates the words of the poem.
