Our National Irrational Bird

I'm sittin' here just thinkin'
what bird I'd like to see
High up on a flag pole
just standin' over me
I thought of every kind of bird
from eagle to a dove
but I really must admit
it's the Turkey that I love
Now you might just started thinkin'
a whole lot less of me
But looking at Our Congress
PLEASE tell me what YOU see

This is wonderful in its symbolism, Jerry. Yes, we are stuck with a bunch of Turkeys in our Congress, and like the bird, all they do is gobble, gobble, gobble. Love it and Congrats on your win.
