George Aul Poet Rhyme

I Am Turkey

I am turkey
hear me roar,
we stand in numbers
too great to ignore

Please don't take the axe,
the gun, or the knife -
we are all just trying
to live out a turkey life

We never did anything wrong
to be cooked and sitting on your table,
we cannot understand why
you all love the Honeysuckle label

So have some other Thanksgiving dinner
it won't hurt you to try -
how about a McDonald's Big Mac
with a super-sized French fry?


For "Gobble, Gobble, Gobble" contest sponsored by Destroyer ~ Poet.

Elizabeth Wesley November 23, 2011 at 6:15 PM The alternatives are great for the bird George but probably wouldn't do for the guy with knife and fork. I can't help feeling sorry though and you said it so well!
