Two Turkey's At the Door

There was a grand turkey at my door, draped as a sheep Welcomed him in and sat at the table, and we talked He gave out nothing of merit, spoke lies with barely a peep Questionable motives told during this fable, and we walked The ledge was near, and he stood behind me, two paces Ready to leap was I, for he was bound to give push He hated me so, for he was a wolf and had many faces Woe, had I the knowledge now that I had then, two in the bush. There was a meek turkey at my door, smelled wolf-like Allowed him in and sat at the table, and we talked He gave me pure love, truth, and drove it in with a spike Hammer of God came down on the table, and we walked The ledge was near, and he stood beside me, two paces Ready to hold on was I, for he was sure to stop my fall He loved me so, for he was the sheep and had many graces Thank you God for giving me the knowledge to love them all __________________________________ Happy Thanksgiving, careful which turkey you take to your table :)
