Broken Record

My brother’s like a broken record.  He tells me about how we used to bike around the neighborhood pretending we were race car drivers, and how we’d gained multiple knee scrapes from turning the curb too fast. He’ll tell me this story twice, thrice, or even four times in a row, and laugh about the good ol’ days. I laugh with him, because though he doesn’t remember that he’s already told me this story for the fourth time in a row, he does remember the fun we had. My brother’s like a broken record, but I don’t mind one bit.

Catch the Turkeys


Catch the turkeys,

Before they get away!

We need to cook them

For Thanksgiving day!


Get your nets,

Grab your rifles

If we hurry now

We can catch them without trifles.


Hide in the bushes

Hide behind the trees

If we get the jump on them

We can catch them with ease.


Stay very quiet

Don’t make a sound.

The turkeys are getting closer,

They’re coming around.


Get your nets ready

And your rifles too.

On the count of three, now.

One, two–


Bang! Great job!

You got ‘em!

Now get your sacks

And let’s all bag them!


It will be great to show off

The fat turkeys we’re bringing.

Let’s have a delicious dinner

And a Happy Thanksgiving!
