Life is good.
You have
everything you want
But you know
your day is coming.

There seems to be
nothing you can do
to change your fate.

You have tried
running away but every time
you have been caught
and brought back.

This is a very bad time
of the year to be a Turkey.

I know Thanksgiving in Canada is long over and here in the states Thanksgiving is still a few weeks out. Still I could not help but think about the many many poor turkeys out there. But than it could be worse. Did you ever see a show called WKRP in Cincinnati?

There was an episode in WKRP called the Turkey Drop. If you want to view it click here. In the clip the radio stations is trying to promote themselves by giving away 20 live turkeys. They do this by flying over a parking lot with a helicopter and drop the 20 live turkeys. Unfortunetely the turkeys can not fly and crash to the ground. What you do not see and I wish I could find was the very ending of the show. The station manager says "As God is my witness. I thought turkeys could fly." What can I say, simple things for simple minds.
