GRAB A LEG AND GROWL

Grab a perky turkey,
one that’s rather quirky
filet him into jerky
and dry him on a rack.

He’ll last for many hours
of hiking over flowers
blanketed with showers
of snowflakes in a drift.

Then, when it’s Thanksgiving,
you’ll be glad that you are living
and annually reliving
post the Mayflower Compact.

With corn raised under fish
and yams served in a dish
and a bone with which to wish,
your turkey’s bound to please.

Oh, yes, take your quirky turkey,
the one I said was perky,
dry him up as seasoned jerky,
and, Friend, now take a hike!

I hope I don’t sound rude
when I speak of turkey food
you must admit, Sweet Dude,
it’s better than chicken scratch.

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.
