I heard this read by Peter Singer himself (I think).  I ordered 5 copies to give to different people.

Yesterday it occurred to me to write to him and share my "Thanksgiving Day with Doctored Seuss."

Dear Peter Singer,

I heard you reading your book Consider the Turkey and ordered 5 print copies to give to friends.

Thank you for writing that book and for including recipes.   

Several years ago, I wrote a short story I'd like to share with you. Even though I wrote it before reading your book, your book and my story are closely related!  In fact, I mention the pardoning of a turkey on the first page!

I'm attaching it, but now I want to write a stanza in your honor.  I'll get this off to you, and then I'll add to it!

Thank you for all you do!
