Turkey Talk
Waddle, waddle
Gobble, gobble
As you can see I am a turkey
Long feathers and a
Big red wattle
But I am not just any turkey
I am a rare breed of turkey
That any hunter would love to have for Thanksgiving
But I am not worried
Because I live in Mexico
Yep. I am a Mexican turkey
A rare turkey indeed
My feathers are multicolored
They call me a Paradise turkey
Because apparently
My ancestors mated
With a Bird of Paradise
And here I am
Rainbow
I frolic through the meadow
Ecstatic that I know I will live though Thanksgiving
(Rustling in the bushes)
What is that?
I see something
AHH! Oh no!
A stupid American hunter jumped the border
And is here to take me home as his prize
I run-sprint-bolt!
Trying to escape the hunter
(BOOM)
I see the light…
Oh, it’s the sun.
Wait. I’m alive?!
Then who did the hunter shoot?
Oh, silly hunter…
The gun was supposed to be pointing the other way…
