Thank God! it’s finally over- And now I’ll get some rest... It’s been two weeks since I have dared To go back to the nest. I trust my mate is still around.. My lovely hen, dear Mabel- I hope she wasn’t dumb enough To grace some human’s table. I’ll never know why human folk Think it’s so much fun To hit the woods and murder- We turkeys with those guns I’m six years old, last hatching- And friend that’s quite a feat... With open season on us birds... When we become...just MEAT! I’ll strut my stuff, and gobble loud For just awhile...again!.. I’ll hide deep in the forest... For it’s Christmas coming then! So why did I hen-scratch this out? And post it here for you? That you might see Thanksgiving From the turkey’s point of view. |

Turkeys are safe from me today (At least - those on the table *G*) For I chose to sit here and play (And read this delightful fable!) My stove is off, no tempting smells But I'll still have my treats. I'll laugh and cry, my heart will swell On this forum's poetic feast. I read this in the newsletter and loved it, GS... Thanks for posting it so I could read it again! *S* |

Ah, dear Troubadour, a wee bit o' holiday humour, I see. What a delight to read ANY of your compositions. This is clever and grand entertainment.  ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Very funny and am glad someone out there is giving the turkey a chance to speak out. To bad his friend was not as smart, I plan on going out to eat his mate Mabel. |

And if turkeys could talk these are the words they would say and I add a few more on Thanksgiving day..."Why's every body always picking on me?" James |
