It’s getting close now, that time of year,
when all turkeys start living in fear. Will they leave this world in roasting sacks, have the turkey farmers sharpened their axe? I’ve heard a lot of them are starting a crash diet, hey, if it keeps ‘em alive, why not try it? Those that are real robust now haven’t a chance, look at the turkey farmers doing a victory dance. I just noticed a big one running out a gate, an axe wielding farmer behind yelling, - “WAIT!!” It headed into an outhouse, a favorite hiding spot, the air filled with an aroma, the reason for this turkey trot!! ·······  ·······Jim AKA Rapid-Fire Publisher/Editor of WRITE ON!!

It appears that the

Oh Jim ... you have a great sense of humour and a gift in getting it into verse. This is another of your poems I have really enjoyed reading.
