The Unthankful Turkey

The Unthankful Turkey

A Poem by Phillitup
"

So sad, how much sadness there must be in the world of turkey's for Thanksgiving to be great all over the world.

"
Poor, poor turkey
Sad,sad day

Day when all the turkeys big and small
For once, lead you astray

Into hunters arms
Bag stuffed over head


It's okay if your unthankful
For the way your life did end.

Poor, poor turkey
Sad, sad day

No light of day again
In your turkey den.

Haha.
Or maybe the turkey is thankful to have helped provide the holiday.
I don't think that you meant for this to be funny, but there is just something about it, maybe the colors or even the fact that it is about turkey that lends itself towards humor.

I like the repetition that you used. I think that it works well in this poem.

this part confused me a little:
"Day when all the turkeys big and small
For once, lead you astray
Into hunters arms
Bag stuffed over head"- how do turkeys leas one astray into hunters arms? something seems missing in that part...

anyway nice work! Always good to have a few seasonal pieces.

thanks
I feel really bad for the turkey. it seems kind of like a childrens story...but at the same time...it was violent. If everyone imagines it correctly, they will never forget it as they eat turkey.
