Since those unfortunate fat white turkeys have been raised in a domestic poultry setting, these wild turkeys have a lot to be thankful for every Thanksgiving Day. American Thanksgiving Day is on Nov. 28 this year. It’s still a few days away. Time for us to think about how blessed we are.

“Darlin’,” Mr. Turkey said,

“Sleep in trees or we are dead.”

“I see no coyote near,

Therefore, we have naught to fear.”

“But your night sight isn’t great,

Mildred learned that; she got ate.”

“You mean ‘eaten,’ don’t you love?

Fine, we’ll watch from up above.”

“Thank you, Lord, for common sense,

Otherwise, things could be tense.”

“We can roost up in a tree,

Count our blessings, you and me.”

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. And yes, let’s count our blessings. There are way more than you think.
