Miss Perky bought a turkey,and a large one it was. She was on her way home,and she thought, ”I’ll go back and buy him a bone. Maybe he will like that.”
She bought the bone and started to come home.
The turkey started to gobble,and shake his wattle, and Miss Perky said “oh, oh, I better buy him a comb.”
They then walked past a store; ”oh, oh, I forgot about those.” She bought potatoes, onions, carrots, celery,tomatoes and cheese.
The next store had shopping baskets out in front. “We need one of these. That will be good for our vegetables and cheese.” Miss Perky tied the turkey’s new comb around his neck and put him and the vegetables all in the new cart. “Oh I better not forget the bone.”
They were really on their way home now, that is until they passed a Pet Store.
”Hi” said Miss Perky,”I need some food for my turkey”
“I have just the thing” said the pet store owner. He knew just what the turkey would like to eat. It was a large sack of turkey feed specially put together for turkeys. He put it inside the cart and put the turkey on top. Miss Perky laid the bone on top of the turkey along with a carrot.
And finally they were on their way home.
Miss Perky brought the cart into her little house and took everything in the cart out and on to the floor. The turkey ran around the room. He flapped his wings. He let out screams that not even other turkeys ever heard.
He headed towards one of Miss Perky’s favorite pillows, and tore it to shreds. With feathers flying all over the house, and vegetables everywhere, Miss Perky didn’t feel too perky anymore.
She sat on the floor.
She held her head, and said, ”he didn’t even like his bone.”
Sometimes it’s just better to stay at home.
Oh Oh!
