My Husband Wants Chicken

Certain holidays have foods
You cannot do without,
Like turkey on Thanksgiving
‘Cause that’s what it’s all about.

A vegetarian might try
To substitute tofu
Or any other recipes
For which I have no clue.

But otherwise, there’s no excuse
To do without the bird.
Just contemplating such a thing
Is patently absurd.

For the stuffing, yams and other sides
Without the proper fowl
Would cause all the guests (including me!)
To holler “Foul!” and scowl.
