Was it a tom-tom-hen turkey love triangle? Was it a turkey-crow star-crossed lovers thing? Did this one finally figure out that his missing friends from previous Octobers and Novembers were not living happily on a farm in Iowa? What drove this poor turkey to take his own life in the highest limbs of a tall tree? It breaks the heart to drive this patch of 33 between Reedsburg and LaValle and see this sad carnage. Won't somebody cut him down and give him a proper resting place? A small stone slab carved simply "Tom - Called Home."
I guess there's a reason turkeys are called "turkeys", eh?
ReplyDeletei have been worried there would be comments here by the offended - "suicide is not a joking matter" - well, neither is murder or having a steering wheel in your pants, but we joke about those things so . . .
