You think cf the turkey
Perhaps with a sigh.
Poor fellow!" you ponder

But think for a minute
Before he Is dead
How many poor fellows

There's many a man who will
Doubtless have twins.
So waste not your pity,
For If he but knew
The turkey might be just as
Thankful as you.

be much more rapid and substantial
