I stumbled upon a man in the woods
"Turkey brother", he talks turkey
Oh just the right man to ask, what came first
The turkey or the egg, he talks turkey
Seriously what came first
As I sat intense drawn into
The life of the turkey family
Humour me, come lets journey on discovery
I started believing
What the turkey man was saying, he talks turkey
Hold on before jumping to judge quick, analyse
Slave of skeptical-ism
Eager to dismiss rendition
For comfort of non-believers, "have faith man"
It could have just been
A camera trick, I know
But so well played to punters watch
He mothered them before hatch, talking turkey
And they opened another world to him
Like the blind seeing for the first time
Where turkeys became
Intelligent and emotional from observation
With societal interactions and characters
With other wild life around, they all talked turkey
It was as if the garden of Eden as biblically stated
Was never lost, just closed off to humanity
I felt so humble and empty
On realization we lived blind, not talking turkey
To our existence, always chasing tomorrow
I saw the tv programme about this advertised but didn't watch it, I may seek it out on the bbc iplayer now after reading this. :-)
