Poem by Judy Eaton

Turkeys are such funny birds,
They always make me smile!
Especially when they march along
All grouped in single file.
With heads alert, like periscopes
All alert and craning.
Though I have found that they don't drown
Peering up when it is raining
Though they look quite stunning when the males are displaying
It's all a big ego show-
"BACK OFF"!
Is what they're saying.
"For I am the greatest bird of all!
Bow down all toms and jakes!
Be impressed, for I am king!
You don't have what it takes!"
