THE TURKEYS DOWNFALL.

There's a melancholy gobbe from the coop
stoop,
And the feathers oft uplifted
BY the bird that seemed gifted
On the floor of his small prison sadly droop.
An appealing look Is noticed In his eye
AS he meekly gaZes at each passerby,
Little time he spends In pecking
For he's often rubbernecking,
Vainly hoping that some rescuer is nigh.
Now and then he stands with eyelds tightly
closed
But the turkey isn't sleeping, as supposed,
For instead Of calmly snoozng
He most mournfully is musing
Ger his downfall since upon the roost he
dozed.
And he thinks Of how he used to strut about,
with his tail and other feathers all spread
out
But he now is sorely humbled,
For from heights of pride he tumbed
And no more he'll see the brakes and roost-
ers pout.
IT'S change that he must sadly contem-
plate
From a barnyard to a coop so low and
straight;
In his prison he is quaking
And with dread he's often shaking
AS he thinks Of his approaching cruel fate.
This once naughty bird is in woeful plight,
And It's useless now to think of stealthy
flight,
For the weapon of destruction
Has been whetted for the ruction,
And the humbled turkeys finish Is In sight

"Stephenv she called, but he did not

a shrug. 1t was all tircsome. Thanks
