Turkey Necks and Bat Wings

*Inspired by Cheryl Hoffman’s “The Skin We’re In” — Go read it! On a turkey it's called a wattle on a moose, "the bell," (not “the bottle”) Those batlike things? (too small - see wings) dewlaps*, odd appendages we coddle We're prisoners of the skin we’re in some have it thick, some have it real thin It may seem quite brittle, when splatted with spittle, it sloughs right off, again and again So gobble some buffalo wings fluffle up your wattle and sing, “Don’t be obtuse. I’m not a moose! I’m a turkey, you big ding-a-ling!" (*A dewlap is a longitudinal flap of skin that hangs beneath the lower jaw or neck of many vertebrates. While the term is usually used in this specific context, it can also be used to include other structures occurring in the same body area with a similar aspect, such as those caused by a double chin or the submandibular vocal sac of a frog.
