Get your pens ready for creating Turkey Notes! For this year’s Turkey Notes blog, we have some special guests who shared their creations with us! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As noted in our blog, Turkey Notes: Our 2024 edition<\/a>, Turkey Notes are a short poem using three or four lines, with the word \u201cTurkey\u201d in the first two lines, which has been a Davenport and Scott County tradition since approximately 1890.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of our guest Turkey Noters have diverged from tradition, which we hope may inspire you to show off your creativity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Turkey Notes are reminiscent of time spent with family and building family memories! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oldest is only in the mind's eye;
so they can wait 'til turkeys fly! 
Gonna pick on those who are in between, 
one can remember turkey notes from their teens!<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Maybe you didn't get an honorable mention, 
but that's the way it goes with good intention. 
Sometimes you slide over a good grandchild, 
even before tis year's turkey notes get filed! <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Personalized Turkey Notes add a delightful touch to any Thanksgiving gathering! The Turkey Notes below show the thoughtfulness of this Turkey Noter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Winnie, the White Labrador <\/em>
Thanksgiving is a special day 
For a big white dog named Winnie 
Turkey says she must be well-fed 
She certainly isn\u2019t skinny<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Lily, the Cavapoo<\/em>

She\u2019s a fuzzy ball of energy 
And her name is Lily 
Turkey says she\u2019s still a pup 
That must be why she\u2019s so silly<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Leo is all about water polo 
He\u2019s very tall and lanky 
He\u2019s interested in the girls, but 
Turkey says \u201cNo Hanky Panky\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Marilyn loves her kitchen 
She\u2019s a wonderful baker 
Turkey\u2019s glad she\u2019s also 
An awesome pie-maker<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
John is a real good dad 
He never is a griper 
Turkey says that\u2019s even when 
He has to change a diaper<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Welcome to the world, Violet
You\u2019re such a pretty baby 
Turkey says before too long 
You\u2019ll be a pretty lady<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The very special Turkey Noters below have been with us at the Library for the last month as part of Dinovemeber! They are getting ready to go back to their homes, but they are celebrating Thanksgiving with Turkey Notes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
