The Turkey's Revenge

The Turkey’s Revenge


The lights went out…..slowly
				…….at first
then
            …….they dropped like flies
				…………in a sudden frost.

Immobilized
		…..succumbing
				……to the inexorable end.

Slowing movements
			…..lowered respiration rates
							…Soft sighs of satiation

Building….in a muted rumble
				….rising to a roaring
							…..Snore….

Parades went by
		…….games were played
					….taunting texts unanswered

Pictures..
	……..will be posted
			……..of the Turkey’s Revenge
							..the bane of Tryptophan’s

Napping victims
		………..dreaming 

				……of uncut pies
						…………awaiting their fate.
