Turkey notes
By Evelyn Witter
,urkey notes are a Thanksgiving cus
tom which began in Davenport,
Iowa, in the 1890s. They have been
popular ever since. What are turkey
notes? Here are some examples:
T
To make a turkey note write a verse
in the same pattern as those above. Be
gin with “ turkey” plus a color to match
with your rhyme. Copy the poem on a 3
x 5 card or paper. Then roll the card in a
colorful wrapper o f tissue or construc
tion paper that’s long enough to make a
fringe by cutting the paper at each end.
Tie each end with a ribbon, yarn or
string.
Turkey notes usually are not signed
so the author can say anything. Some
notes are funny. Some are romantic.
But most notes are written in the spirit
o f the season and with the thought of
the coming Christmas season.
Turkey red, turkey blue.
D on’t end up
In turkey stew.
Turkey green, turkey yellow ,
Turkey says
You're a fine fellow.
Turkey red, turkey blue,
Turkey says—
I love you.
Don't let your party go
COLD
TURKEY.
