A praire chicken (Tympanuchus cupido)
and a grouse can breed .Galliformes
both belong to this family of birds.
a grouse can successfully breed
with a Praire chicken but can not
breed with a domestic chicken
genus Gallus (Gallus gallus.
Yet a grouse and domestic chicken can breed.
so to the order
a Praire Chicken dates a Grouse
and has chicks
the chicks then date domestic chickens and
have chicks what are these creatures called
and how do they taste?
Columba livia is pigeon and dove
while a turkey is Meleagris
Columbiformes and  Galliformes.

Long-suffering turkeys of the world unite
This Thanksgiving we're gonna win the fight

   Warn those poultry farmers, if they slaughter you
   You'll oblige them with a case of Meleagris-bird flu

god bless your name might this might and mercy bless you
aint got much money
the nights are brisk and cold
a longing to be with someone
to have someone to love and hold
maybe we can be together
oh that you say that you will
i'll tell you of a sweet night night together
one that involves me and you
i stretch my hands to thee
thee oh lord
might 
i find your might through your mercy

Hey, Pilgrims,
Let's dress-up
Dress-down the plumes
of the dancing Peacock
(If we'd allow)
but for the Ritual;

For Francsly speaking
in tongues of plata y oro,
Pound-for-bloody-pound
How much 'cide this buys?
A simply-uneasy angst to the quest,
Oh, how Corpulent "m.d.'s" -
Which dystrophy Indigene Water - Land - Identity muscle 
Manifest your Destiny! - Trophied.

Lots of time for sargeants,
for unhappy Cherokee rides on trails to tears      
Led from 50,000 years to Discovery? Indeed!
With no reservation 
'cept to enslave the Spirit,
And with tobacco & cotton gotten
from the corn colors of the Earth!

Are the Iroquois/Mohawk/Navajo/Cherokee/Hopi
Thankfully jeeping...?

Don You grisly-now...
Our meleagris gallopavo decapatito,
Strut and march like mute Mummera in the Charade!

                                                                            Cum Multis Aliis
