Wild Turkey* Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

Every turkey needs two feathered wings
just to fly over people and things.
Although people can fly
with big birds in the sky
they'll have Turkey, the Wild one for kings.

She said 'hair of the dog' (it was Heather) ,
too much Turkey, she's under the weather.
While the boys fly the plane
they are feeling no pain
but the hair has turned into a feather.

Every bird needs a cushion of air,
as to wings, they are great as a pair,
as the bourbon goes in
and the bird sports a grin
they now fly on a wing and a prayer.
