A turkey was being plucked and it hurt
He was in pain and his fowl words were curt
He pecked at the plucker
Said “sing for your supper”
And then ran for his life overexert.

Now the turkey's in the altogether 
He is feeling lighter than a feather 
He's thankful to be here 
And for losing his gear 
All he is wanting now is fine weather.

OOOOh~~ Poor turkey. Sad one but yet humorous. Thanks for sharing the humor with us and for dropping by my page to say congratulations on the POTD. Sara K

The turkey would rather be naked than baked and was more than pleased to have escaped. Thank you Gershon, Belle
