Turkey Starts Podcast, Gobbles Truth About Grain Inflation and Holiday Trauma

Ma tuned in on her old Zune,
Pa said, “This bird’s got sass and tune.”
Turkey spoke in earnest tone,
“Let’s talk about this corn loan.”
“Y’all feast while we get priced,” he said,
“Stuffed and basted, then we’re dead.”
His segments aired from coop-side booth,
With segments called “Beaked Raw Truth.”
Granny wept at the trauma part,
While Lou drew graphs with rural art.
Pig called in to rant on beans,
Rooster screamed about vaccine scenes.
Preacher warned it stoked dissent,
But binged all twelve in one Advent.
City folks now buy his merch,
“Mash the System” tees in church.
Turkey trends with gobbled facts,
A cluckin’ voice that never slacks.
