Pardons For Turkeys

by Charles Keller — Read all 159 poems by Charles Keller

Wednesday, November 29, 2006

Flyer and Fryer are smiling tonight.
For a while... they were afraid they might
wind up as dinner for the White House crew.
But the president said, "that just won't do!"
The two were pardoned and given a trip
to Disney World and citizenship
In a petting zoo where they can spend
the rest of their lives. No dark clouds portend
the fate which happened to most of their kind
in "Black November" as Americans dined
on friends and relatives with gravy and rolls
and cranberry sauce in decorative bowls.
So smile for these gobblers, be happy too.
They have it better than me and you!
Let's all be thankful this time of year.
Laugh and be happy. Shed not a tear
for Flyer and Fryer are smiling tonight.
Their lives have reached the ultimate height.
But I hope Mr. Bush saved a couple of
pardons for Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rove!

You'd like to send them to Disneyland too, they'd be right at home there, just don't give Cheney a gun, he might shot himself in the foot or... well you know the story I see, Blessings Chuck I enjoyed much, yes and I did smirk! Jasmin Horst

I'm not sure that pardons for the last 3 turkeys are necessary. The world might be better off with that bunch on their respective platters, their hindquarters bulging with stuffing. Heaven only knows they've more than worn out their welcomes with the human race. This was really cute Chuck!
