The beach resort sounded just grand
The snorkeling, sun, and the sand
But roasting in the sun
Made Turkey Tom overdone
So he stayed in and rocked with the band

Inspired by the sports on TV
Tom wondered how hard luge could be
Swooshing down on the sled
Filled his bird heart with dread
He retired to his sofa with glee
