A DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING POEM
When I was a young turkey, new to the coop,
My big brother Mike took me out on the stoop,
Then he sat me down, and he spoke real slow,
And he told me there was something that I had to know;
His look and his tone I will always remember,
When he told me of the horrors of..... Black November;
"Come about August, now listen to me,
Each day you'll get six meals instead of just three.
"And soon you'll be thick, where once you were thin,
and you'll grow a big rubbery thing under your chin;
"And then one morning, when you're warm in your bed,
In'll burst the farmer's wife, and hack off your head;
"Then she'll pluck out all your feathers so you're bald 'n pink,
And scoop out all your insides and leave ya lyin' in the sink;
"And then comes the worst part" he said not bluffing,
"She'll spread your cheeks and pack your rear with stuffing."
Well, the rest of his words were too grim to repeat,
I sat on the stoop like a winged piece of meat,
And decided on the spot that to avoid being cooked,
I'd have to lay low and remain overlooked;
I began a new diet of nuts and granola,
High-roughage salads, juice and diet cola;
And as they ate pastries, chocolates and crepes,
I stayed in my room doing Jane Fonda tapes;
I maintained my weight of two pounds and a half,
And tried not to notice when the bigger birds laughed;
But 'twas I who was laughing, under my breath,
As they chomped and they chewed, ever closer to death;
And sure enough when Black November rolled around,
I was the last turkey left in the entire compound;
So now I'm a pet in the farmer's wife's lap;
I haven't a worry, so I eat and I nap;
She held me today, while sewing and humming,
And smiled at me and said "Christmas is coming..."
PRCARC New Web Site
The Pearl River County Amateur Radio Club has a new website. After several months of work, design and thought, the new website was put online this afternoon. It features a different look, additional features and increased access and ease of use. Please take a look at: https://www.facebook.com/Pearl-River-County-Amateur-Radio-Club-117965401695779/
You may note that the address has not changed - but the new site is on a new server. Please take a look at the pictures, news items, links and other new features available. Soon to open is a forum for comments, a used item sale place and documents archive.
Some areas of the website are still under construction - so check back often as we continue to add new things to the website of PRCARC! The new design will permit several people to contribute to the function and update of the website. Thanks to Jay Stevens for his work on the new site!
