The Turkey Leg Blues

A turkey's lament!

 

Yeah, I'm a turkey; haven't you ever seen a rhyming turkey before?

 

Sometimes, all the turkey stereotypes are such a bore

 

You've all heard them, "Oh, they are dumber than a rock!;

 

 If it rains, they'll stare at the clouds and drown; they'll c**k-

 

A-doodle-doo at dawn"--err--maybe that's my cousin the chicken

 

The point is, they have no clue the shithouses where we've been

 

Kept; deplorable!  Now, do you think a dumb-a*s turkey

 

Would ever use a word like that?  Huh?  I may be

 

Damn ugly, yes, but even that pisses me off

 

While I'll admit some of us are a little soft

 

In the head, to judge us all because of the stupidity of a few?

 

Is just poultry profiling; how would you

 

Like to try to live with a meat cleaver hanging over your head

 

Every Thanksgiving Day?  Live with the threat of suddenly being dead;

 

Just so some upright-walking b*****d can stuff his face

 

With the deceased body of Uncle Cluck or Aunt Winona; get off our case!

 

I've got the 'Turkey Leg Blues' and I can't seem to shake it

 

And I will have them until this Thanksgiving s**t

 

Is over for another year; go carve a pumpkin!

 

Of course, pumpkins may disagree, but the din

 

They raise will be non-existent because they truly are brainless,

 

So it's really gourde-profiling, I guess!

And a Happy THanksgiving to you too.

I'm not overly fond of turkey, or pumpkin for that matter. I'm sure they'd both be glad to know that.
