What is Thanksgiving to you?
To me, its a time to say thanks to my friends who have helped me out through the years. And, give thanks to my kids and grandchildren. Can't forget football; every year my Uncle Bob and I always make a bet on which team will win. Thats fun. And I watch Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, while cooking. "hmm, the smell of turkey".....
Ten more days to go......
Oh, and those long distance phone calls to everyone in my family.....hehe
A Turkey's Lament
Nobody usually likes me
Most people think I am ugly
They use my name in vain
As a joke again and again
But when November rolls around
I am the most popular bird in town
They want to catch me and then cook me
And roast me and make delicious gravy
Then they stuff me where no hands should be
Although I'm dead it's still rather rough for me
Because I have never ever been stuffed up there
Because I am a macho straight male bird, I swear
Why don't they choose some other kind of bird
Ostriches are leaner and better for you I've heard
And I sincerely believe they are even uglier than me
And that is really saying a lot coming from a turkey
They are so ugly they must keep their head in the ground
They should be the bird of choice when November rolls around
