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. ------------------ Live large, people! ~GS~ http://www.geocities.com/montcogunslinger/HomePage.html |

Last time I saw Mabel she was laying on the table legs up in the air ... stuffed with dressing up to there ! Mabel, Mabel, was not able to get her self up off my table. Lest I try a lame lament ... I'd say that's where Mabel went. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I can't save Mabel. I think I ate her!  ------------------ Lorene Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me, it will beat the heck out of day before yesterday! [This message has been edited by Ohme (edited 11-28-1999).] |
