A not Thanksgiving, but true story

And when you all sit down to eat
the turkeys backed and fried
Then think of me, poor Dutchie gal
who has not even a wing in sight

Though I've been given a lot I'd say
to be grateful and thankful for
I've no remembrance of one year
a turkey came walking through my door

I once chopped off a rooster's head
at least I thought I did
But as it was in twilight of eve
I'd made a mistake, I must admit

Because this is what really happened
When cleaning the beast, an egg popped out
In stead of the rooster, I killed his mother
The rooster cackled next morning out loud

'Ha ha', he screamed, 'I had you fooled
I knew you would grab the tallest beast
So I made myself smaller than MOM'
He stayed alive for six months at least

Maybe it's best I have no turkey
walking in on Thanksgiving I'd say
I wouldn't dare to chop his head off
to find out later...'he' had been a MOM one day

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL MY PIPFRIENDS

Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

LOL! A delightful story, Titia! If you can't tell the difference between a rooster and a chicken I suggest you never work for Kentucky Fried Chicken!!!
