Poor Turkey Not Again

As if thanksgiving wasn't enough being a turkey is pretty tough One moment your in a green fiield getting fat with your family and friends Then your life comes to a nasty end, As a cruel farmer with a huge axe made of Sheffield cold steel sharpens the edge upon a grinding wheel. Moments later you lose your head you can't google now more your as naked as a bull frog your clothes are on the floor. Millions of turkey's Are going to die and end up on a dinner plate or in a pie they claim turkeys have tears in their eyes before they die. Think I'll stick to sardines. Remember A turkey should be fore life not just for Christmas. Poor things. Peter Dome.copyrigjt,2013. Dec.
