Just this one time,

spoil the turkey,
spare his hide,

the trust in his heart,
the fear in his eye,

enjoy his float
down the 5th avenue
ride,

feast like pilgrims,
say prayers,
seek great spirits
of the sky,

but just this one time,

spoil the turkey,
spare his hide

LOL, my daughter-in-love's sister is the same, and every year at our turkey dinner, I think she almost closes her eyes.  This is not only cute but a good poem to remind people to be sensitive to our wonderful vegetarians.

I did this cartoon last year this time for Nan, in Cape Cod - hope you get a chuckle out of it.


Happy Thanksgiving!

makes me wish the darn things didn't taste so good

if all animals could taste like fish, they'd sure be safe from me

I am sure that you can count many turkeys among your friends! LOL

Roasted tofu with all the trimmings is the absolute tastiest Thanksgiving feast! LOL

Love your wit and charm ~ and admire how you protect our feathered gobbler friends!

Here's a slogan I have written to help your cause!

"Stop gobbling turkeys so turkeys can still gobble!"

or how about this one:

"When you gobble a turkey, you gobble his gobble!"

Have a wonderful Day of Thankfulness!
