Had to repost

The Luckiest Bird Around Strutting about ruffling my wings As everyone else gathered around in rings Seeing the farmer sharpening his cleaver with cheer Made my body shake and fill with fear I let out a screech and puffed out my chest Oh! No! Not me, you're not getting close to my breast you pest Kicking up dust and praying he wouldn’t stop But to my surprise, off my head wasn’t chopped To the freezer he went for a package of Rib-eye I jumped with joy with a glimmer in my eye Strutting around and dancing a hoedown jig Maybe next year it will be the barnyard pig Happy Thanksgiving 11/26/2015

I am not a vegan, but I do hate to see animals being killed. And I saw a lot of them go the eternal way in my life. Lovely poem. ~~
