Thought that I would share eric38' Turkey Poem (Just a little humor for Thanksgiving)

Thanksgiving Turkey

Leonard was a turkey of the friendly kind, everyone was trustworthy in Leonard's turkey mind. He lived with his family until one fateful day a farmer came and took Leonard the trusting turkey away. Leonard was leary at first but the farmer fed him all that he desired, so he befriended the man and of eating never tired. Everytime he ate his fill he thanked the Lord with glee but what the farmer had in store poor Leonard couldn't see. Two months later the farmer came with a smile on his face and took the trusting turkey to an unfamiliar place. He introduced Leonard to the old wooden shed and when leonard gobbled his "Howdy do" the farmer chopped off his head. Then the farmer gutted Leonard and threw him in the stove and decided he needed stuffing, so off to town he drove. On the way to town his truck blew a tire and by the time he got back home Leonard was on fire. The farmer ran to the oven and put out the flaming heat but it was way too late, Leonard was charcoaled meat.

So, be choosy when you pick your friends, make sure their trust is earned. Don't ever do what Leonard did or you'll end up getting burned.
