The axe doesn't waste time and the feathers give a clue. Hopefully it was worth it - after all, what would thanksgiving be without one. Great turkey talk Daver.

Well, I hope that the turkey isn't tough..Thanks for stopping by, reading, and commenting on my featured poem..Yes, that rooster was a fighter and defender of his harem but he was really good boiled in the pot and served with rooster broth dumplings..Sara

Interesting pictures of different Thanksgiving images. I like how you always think outside the box. Have a great Turkey day!! Glad you liked my Pete's sweet death. I used to eat that way too (in the days I could get away with it)
