of an elderly white-haired goose, who

drowning. He was forced to hear

Let poets sing the lark awning,
The thrush's silvery suing,
The mpcking-bird to rapture stirred,
The robins rhythmic wooing;
Aye! let them praise in lyric lays
The blue-jay pert and perky,
But o floor me each time, perdie,
The plump Thanksgiving turkey!
Fair Madge may pet her paroquet
AS wondrous wise and wary,
And Mistress Maud may loudly laud
Her cunning young canary;
Content am as days slip by,
And skies above grow murky,
If it's my luck to hear-"cluck!
cluck!"-'
The plump Thanksgiving turkey.
Then let prevail the love of quail,
Ye skilled men of the cartridge,
Give need profuse to grouse and

To wood-cock and to PARTRIDGE!
Faith, naught l care how others fare
If sour they look or smirky,
When hot for me is served, perdie,
The plump Thanksgiving turkey!

How Goby's many good reasons for
