Paying the Piper
Paying the Piper

Shed no tear for the turkey’s fate
when payday for security arrives;
the contract is quite clear on that.
Freedom from extinction has a price
but we have chosen a different path
and, on the day the last of us
releases our grip on forever,
turkeys must start another search
for a suitable protector.
