Thank God! It's finally over -
And now I'll get some rest…
It's been two weeks since I have dared
To go back to the nest.
I trust my mate is still around…
My lovely hen, dear Mabel -
I hope she wasn't dumb enough
To grace some human's table.
I'll never know why human folk
Think it's so much fun
To hit the woods and murder -
We turkeys with those guns
I'm six years old, last hatching -
And friend that's quite a feat…
With open season on us birds…
When we become…just MEAT!
I'll strut my stuff, and gobble loud
For just awhile…again!
I'll hide deep in the forest…
For it's Christmas coming then!
So why did I hen-scratch this out?
And post it here for you?
That you might see Thanksgiving
From the turkey's point of view.

Thanksgiving
(From The Turkey's Point Of View)
It was one of those perfect English autumnal days which occur more frequently in memory than in life.

Coffee Burned on the Bottom of the Pot? Pour table salt, along with a little hot water, into the pot and allow to stand for several minutes. The burned crust should come loose and you can then wash the pot as you usually do.
