Heading out on our walk
David says to me Look!
so I look and way up
in the branches
four turkeys are perched

They seem oversized
for their perches however
Thanksgiving is only
a few days away
so my first thought is
silly birds
they must think
that they'll be safe
through the holiday
hiding up there

Then on reflection
it comes to me
who but yours truly
would ever imagine
that turkeys
I mean even wild ones
like these
could come up with such thoughts
