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

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.
