A Turkeys Eulogy

A turkey named Betty who knew better,
Slipped and let a well known butcher get her
Her last day of living,
To be on Thanksgiving
But she was loved by all those who "et" her!

Alas, the turkey lobby only meets once a year.....and only for dinner.

G'day PAT … perhaps thanksgiving should be renamed 'turkey Armageddon'. The day the gobbling is done by us loving humans - thanks PAT - Lindsay

oh such clever word play Pat - Turkey's are safe over here as we don't celebrate Thanksgiving... but many suffer the chop at Christmas. Hugs Jan xx
