your poem cracked me up, John. How delightful this read was 'after' I ate turkey. Identifying as a plump chicken is priceless and creative. enjoy your evening, Sara

No, even a duck is out of luck on TG. He could have said a ham...but then the actors gild would claim he was promoting violence against performers – perhaps a leech? – oh no, politicians would have the FBI raid his nest – can’t win some days. Good one, John.

Roasted chicken, roasted turkey, same same. Would have been better for him to pretend to be a duck
