The Ballad of Tom the Turkey
(2016)And Other Tales Told in Verse
A collection of stories by Aldred Chase
The Ballad of Tom the Turkey is a collection of funny and action-packed adventures told in rollicking rhyme.
I sing a ballad of a bird
Whose tale is strange and quirky.
He taught us things without a word
By being bold and perky,
And all the kings and queens have heard
Of noble Tom the turkey.
And I have other tales to tell,
Packed full of thrills and mirth.
A princess fights a dragon, vile,
And proves her brains have worth.
A zombie leaves his moonlit grave
Because he loves to surf.
A lad who tries to help his dad
Finds trouble on the stage.
A naughty boy must answer right
Or face a teacher’s rage.
These tales are waiting for you here;
Just step inside the page.
