Is That a Turkey Leg

“What kind of food is that?” Lee turkey asked the pig.
The pig pretended he did not understand.
Grunted his way out of answering outright.
“That’s a turkey leg!” Lee’s cousin yelped. “Disgusting!”
“You are a cannibal!” they both yelled at the pig.
The pig did not know what he was eating.
He only knew it was delicious.
He smiled his happiest grin.
Knowing he could take both of them if he had to.
Wondering how long you bake a turkey leg?

This is a most interesting poem, Caren. I wonder if the pig ever ate a loin or a barbecued rib??? Just wonderin'.
