SHADES OF TURKEYS ograd2a

A Bronze tomImage via Wikipedia

A turkey is a jumbo bird, its bright red face is so absurd.
Its head and neck explodes in color! Wings are dark and look much duller.    

They roost in trees, nest on the ground. They eat beetles by the pound!
Their flapping wings sound just like thunder, they land in brush and dive right under.

Ben Franklin tried to make them regal, but I’m so glad they chose the eagle.
Next time you hear a turkey gobble, watch him strut and walk his wobble.

It seems the count of turkeys living, takes a dive around Thanksgiving.
That might be part of natures
plan, some healthy tasty food for man. 

Perhaps the Pilgrims had it right, with their turkey appetite.
It seems the Indians liked them too, with yams and beans in turkey stew!

That's why the Toms now wear dark shades, to parties, balls, and masquerades!
Those glasses just might help them see, attaining anonymity!

But the turkeys on our block, still walk the walk and gobble-talk.
They “turkey strut” the wiggle wobble, and “turkey talk” their “Gobble, gobble!”

And turkey Hens make shameless passes; at macho toms who wear those glasses!
So get some shades and put them on!  You’ll look just like a Turkey, Tom!
