Tom stopped at his local craft fair,
Impressed with the mixture of wares.
Booths with colorful sweets
Lined the cobblestone streets.
“I refuse to support billionaires!” (1/2)

Tom wrestled with LED lights
Suspended at towering heights
With talons a-freezing
He couldn't help sneezing
Tom feared this could lead to last rites!

Tom’s feathers were trembling and shaking
So to combat his nerves he got baking
Cinnamon and spice
Mixed in to entice
In no time the sweets quelled the quaking

With another Thanksgiving ahead
Tom panicked...fall filled him with dread!
He started to cry
"No more pumpkin pie!"
And pulled covers over his head!

The Crown jewels of France were purloined
"Tom, help us!" the Surete enjoined
With berets on their heads
Thieves escaped on mopeds
And completed the mission conjoined!
