Turkey Talk

But of which turkey shall we speak? The feckless fowl, gobbler today but gone tomorrow? Or the nation of the Turks? You might say, “Don’t be a turkey.” And that would be very good advice. For were this soliloquy to make its way to Broadway, it would doubtless be deemed a turkey.

I’d try to make it up to you. Perhaps we’d go bowling, where three strikes would earn you a turkey. Or we might go dancing instead. And turkey trot.

But Thanksgiving is at hand, a time when most people partake of turkey, the feathered kind, with all the trimmings. Some also indulge in a little Wild Turkey.

But not me, I’m taking the pledge. I’m going cold turkey.
