Cold Turkey

When it is the middle of the day and it is raining and it has been raining since the middle of the night a turkey does not feel like going out for a stroll especially if that turkey could not sleep last night because of dreams about being on a boat in a stormy sea and there was water everywhere and maybe more water than even a camel can drink and the turkey was very wet and then the turkey woke up and was wet then too.

So when it rains like this and a turkey is choosing to stay in and nap for most of the day at the times when that turkey is awake he or she might be very bored and write poetry like this...

crashing and bashing and flashing about
the storm in my head has just been let out
and sorry to those people who get in the way
but I warned you I am having a very bad day

I know I am not the most poetic turkey out there, or maybe I am, but you get the idea I think because i was going for a lot of hostile imagery there which is why I chose the words ‘crashing’ and ‘bashing’ instead of other words and oh yeah they rhymed too.

I am still shivering now and I wish I could make myself a cup of tea but the first problem with that idea is that it would most certainly wake up the man and the woman and the second problem with that plan is that I do not know how to use the stove or the kettle or the water tap and I do not know where they keep the mugs so really a better plan would be for you to make a cup of tea for me and bring it over here but i think that would be impossible because I do not even know exactly where here is to be able to tell you where to go.

Also I do not know if I even like tea, so that is a third problem, but I have just read that it usually helps someone when they are cold and shivering so I think that I would like it and I just hope you all are well and are not cold wherever you might be tonight.
