Had to re-post this...once you get the song in your head, there's just no letting up! :)


Poem Artwork

Take it from the top...

I’m not really a hen
just a fat old turkey is me
but,  I live in this house with the hens all around me

Generations of poultry from young to old
They scratched and pecked
and watched me grow. . .


With the finest of feathers
through all kinds of weather
and then. . .

Just only yesterday
I got the bad news
. . . and, now all I can say is I better start singing...


“The Hen House Blues"

Turkey Gobbler’s sing their
doodle-doodle-do’s
while your babies babble to your
coochie-coochie coos
Your butchers are out with their
little axey-poos
. . . and I’m just a turkey singing
the hen house blues!

In the corral they do the Horse-Tail Swoosh
Better than being stuffed with all that mush!
. . . and then,  they up and penned those grunts
but if you must
just flick at their tails until they go
OINK!

Couldn’t Thanksgiving just get by with some pork?

Turkey Gobbler’s sing their
doodle-doodle-do’s
while your babies babble to your
coochie-coochie coos
Your butchers are out with their
little axey-poos
. . . and I’m just a turkey singing
the hen house blues!

Your Grannies, they ramble in their Turkey talk
While I’m pacing outside with
my eyes half gawked!
It’s just an ole’ turkey
....

"Whippy do!"

Who said that?
How would you like it if they ate you?

Turkey Gobbler’s sing their
doodle-doodle-do’s
While your babies babble to your
coochie-coochie coos
Your butchers are out with their
little axey-poos
. . . and I’m just a turkey singing
the hen house blues!


 

 

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and yours!

This is too cute. Makes me laugh, but poor turkey singing the Hen House Blues. Not too sure if I'll be able to enjoy my turkey dinner cause I'll keep hearing those Hen House Blues. lol

God bless you and yours. Kathy

Kimmy, that was cute. It reminds me of the commercial where the cows are holding signs reading, "Eat more chicken."
God Bless,

Adorable! But I'm gonna eat my fill anyhow--got me a hen all picked out. Incidently, did you know you should always get a hen, not a tom? Hen's bones are smaller, so you get more meat for the weight. --Charlie
