Turkey Gabble

Again 'tis that time of year when I must evade that forebodin' axe! With the thought of my neck on the choppin' block, I jes' cain't relax! How about a goose er duck to complement yer pies, beans and peas, Er yer grandma's meatloaf to go with them sweet pertaters if you please! I certainly ain't got nothin' to celebrate and be thankful fer, And with that my cousins, brothers and sisters wholly concur! I pray you'll find other victuals in which to stab yer knife and fork. May I respectfully suggest that you eat more beef, feesh and pork! Robert L.

Are you being the turkey today Bob? You ask some good questions, hope the poor birds enjoy the time left.

the turkey galoot, sidestepped so aloof, and floated out over the gate, the butcher he swore, knock his head off for sure, but he was bloody too late ... good one cobber mate...
