Black  November
A Turkey's Lament

When I was a young turkey, new to the  coop,
My big brother Mike took me out on the stoop,

Then he sat me  down, and he spoke real slow,
And he told me there was something that I had  to know;

His look and his tone I will always remember,
When he told me  of the horrors of ..... Black November;

"Come about August, now listen to  me,
Each day you'll be thick, where once you were thin,
And you'll grow a  big rubbery thing under your chin.

"And then one morning, when you're  warm in your bed,
In'll burst the farmer's wife, and hack off your  head;

"Then she'll pluck out all your feathers so you're bald'n  pink,
And scoop out all your insides and leave ya lyin' in the  sink,

"And then comes the worst part" he said not bluffing,
"She'll  spread your cheeks and pack your rear with stuffing".

Well, the rest of  his words were too grim to repeat,
I sat on the stoop like a winged piece of  meat,

And decided on the spot that to avoid being cooked,
I'd have to  lay low and remain overlooked;

I began a new diet of nuts and  granola,
High-roughage salads, juice and diet cola,

And as they ate  pastries, chocolates and crepes,
I stayed in my room doing Jane Fonda  tapes,

I maintained my weight of two pounds and a half,
And tried not  to notice when the bigger birds laughed;

But 'twas I who was laughing,  under my breath,
As they chomped and they chewed, ever closer to  death;

And sure enough when Black November rolled around,
I was the  last turkey left in the entire compound;

So now I'm a pet in the farmer's  wife's lap;
I haven't a worry, so I eat and I nap,

She held me today,  while sewing and humming,
And smiled at me and said "Christmas is  coming........"
