Turkey Publishes Memoir “Feathered and Misunderstood,” Sells Out Before Thanksgiving

Ma said, “She writin’ her side now?”
Pa moaned, “It’s gonna cause a cow row.”
“I ain’t your dinner, I’m complex meat,”
Turkey typed with webbed feet.
The memoir dropped on Barnes & Pen,
Tales of fear, corn, and stupid men.
“Each November, I fake my death–
This year I sued with turkey breath.”
Pig wept at chapter seven’s turn,
While Rooster clucked, “Let the pages burn!”
Chicken taught the banned book class,
As Goat staged scenes in feathered sass.
Lou narrated the audiobook, bold,
“Feathers speak louder than stories told.”
Now city moms quote Turkey’s prose,
As gravy sales fall like snow on crows.
