Leggy Bird and a Vintage Wine

What i love About Christmas time Is a leggy bird And a vintage wine With succulent breasts And a figure so tanned When i wash my hands She'll soon be manned She's the type of bird Who leaves me well fed With a glass of wine I'm ready for bed But this little bird Can sure last longer For she double serves And my hungry heart grows fonder At my table she sits In anticipation As my hands delight She has my admiration This delicious bird on Christmas Day Is natures Turkey, a delight I'll say And just before we sit down to eat We are incredibly thank full, for such a treat My entry for Donna Golden's contest " Turkey Tribute " http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/poetry-soup-2.php
