Ah the Season

The turkey’s held up signs
Protesting the Parade
“We were here before the Pilgrims”

They sought back-up from the Pumpkins
“Where were you on Halloween”, they asked

A Deer in a red vest strutted across the meadow

An old Owl shook its head from front to back

It gets worse every year mumbled the hunter
As he loaded his slingshot

An escaped lab monkey
Built a fire in the distance

As a feral cat
Longed for home

Darn those 'escaped lab monkeys.' I hate it when they spoil everything every year. ~ Gari-La
