Linda Alice Fowler Poet Acrostic

Turkey Legs

Thank you for tender flesh so sweet
Uniquely known for your dark meat
Risen to fame as a rare treat
Known as sticks that are fun to eat 
Each person asks for a repeat
Year after year, you face defeat

Lovingly fried in hot peanut oil
Eaten quickly before you spoil
Gobs of grease on aluminum foil 
Save us from high cholesterol.
