WELL-FED TURKEY ENCOUNTER

A WELL-FED TURKEY ENCOUNTER

 

On a Northbridge* back street,

What would I find

But a wild turkey

Stopping to dine…

Upon a lawn

Manicured right,

Then ambled off

Until out of sight…

Of the slam of a door

He had no need to dread,

The wood was his shelter

After being well-fed!

BEHIND MY DOCTOR’S OFFICE

 

On a Northbridge lawn,

What did I find…

A lone wild turkey

Who stopped there to dine;

Behind my doctor’s office

On the lawn manicured,

It couldn’t have been getter timed

If he’d been actually lured.
