snowyday Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 The Turkey’s Lament I wonder what I can have done To merit all this trouble— Shut up where I can have no fun And bent until I’m double! This morning all the folks rushed out And chased me over fences And here and there and round about Until I lost my senses. I ran toward the farmer’s wife And thought she would befriend me, But even she—upon my life— Did nothing to defend me! Instead, she grabbed me by a foot With no consideration, And in this prison I was put Without an explanation. The farmer’s sharpening an axe; The children talk of “dressing.†Oh, my, I wish I knew the facts! These rumors are depressing! But all the future I can see Looks very, very murky, Just now I think I’d rather be A chicken than a turkey. By King Gobbler, 1913 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
