Squawk Vs Gobble

A man had a parrot that talked so bad A worst vocabulary no one had The man attempted to make correction The parrot threw epithets in every direction Finally exasperated in a fit of rage The man pulled the parrot out of his cage Threw him in the freezer to cool him off All the while, the parrot just squawked Then suddenly it got deathly quiet The man felt things weren't exactly right He opened the freezer and to his surprise The parrot began to apologize For being so vulgar and so obscene He promised from now on to be serene He said to the man, I have a question for you What did that turkey in the freezer do? Curtis Moorman 23 November 2011 For the Gobble, Gobble contest HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all you Soupers
