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.

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!
