This<br>Leg and thigh he sets on an extra<br>Plate. All his weight now on <br>One leg, he lunges for the wing, the wing<br>On the same side of the bird from which<br>He has just removed the leg and thigh.<br>He frees the wing enough to expose<br>The breast, the wing not severed but<br>Collapsed down to the platter. One hand<br>Holding the fork, piercing the turkey<br>Anywhere, he now beings to slice the breast,<br>Afflicted by small pains in his chest,<br>A kind of heartburn for which there is no <br>Cure. He serves the hostess breast, her <br>Own breast rising and falling. And so on,<br>Till all the guests are served, the turkey<br>Now a wreck, the carver exhausted, a<br>Mere carcass of his former self. Everyone<br>Says thanks to the turkey carver and begins<br>To eat, thankful for the cold turkey<br>And the Republic for which it stands.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Mac+Hammond">Mac Hammond</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=450877" data-title="Thanksgiving de Mac Hammond" data-description="The man who stands above the bird, his knife Sharp as a Turkish scimitar, first removes A thigh and leg, half the support On which the turkey used to stand.
