The Turkey and the Farmer Haiku
The turkey cried out,
"Please don't carve me for dinner.
Have yogurt instead."
The farmer declined,
"Sorry turkey, no thank you.
I can't stand yogurt."
The ax was raised high.
"Stop, you'll get indigestion.
I'm loaded with gas."
The turkey farted.
The farmer left the barnyard.
No turkey tonight.

Great, I enjoyed.
Turkey is probably my least favorite meat. Calvin Trillin has said he thinks we should all eat spaghetti carbonora on Thanksgiving! Now, there's a meal to be thankful for!
