Turkey On Truck
This is actually a true story. A long time ago when I use to live on a homestead, we had grown many turkey's. Sometimes they were better watch dogs than a dog. I was inside doing my house-cleaning chores; when all of a sudden the phone rang. the gas-meter man inside of his truck said, "Hey, lady can you come out and get your dang turkey off my truck." I went out laughing like he was stuck in some mud up to his neck.
Turkey On Truck
Out came two turkey's on top of truck
Scared the crap out of driver he stuck
Phoned me to come out
All I did was shout
All he had to do was honk ker pluck.
Poor man almost died by the look on his face, he was so scared I had to ask him if he had to use the washroom. All he said, next time I come here better have your turkey's caged up. Didn't say anything to that for if I did his face would have turned beet red again. So I just let it go. To this day I still laugh at the scared look on his face. Guess if one is not used to something like this, it could have a drastic frightening image left on their minds forever.
