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 By: Eve Roper 11/26/2015

Thank you, Kevin, I hope you and yours had a wonderful day today. Thanksgiving is such a busy few days to get everything ready, but I do feel sorry for the turkey he does taste moist and very good if cooked right.
