I
met a guy a few Fridays ago …
And
before the sun set…
He had
his way on me!
What
a turkey!
Literally!
Let
me explain—please!
Rewind
earlier in the day…
I
was at Lucy’s house…
Lucy
is a neighbor of mine…
She
has 20 acres in the jungle…
Just
across the way from me here in Akumal…
And
she has horses.
Kelly,
another friend of mine, was there too…
She
gives riding lessons to Lucy’s daughter.
Besides horses…
Lucy
has hens, roosters, ducks…
And
turkeys.
While
Lucy was talking to the groom…
And
Kelly was giving the lesson…
One
fat, jiggly, lumpy blue-headed turkey…
Kept
eyeing me.
He’d
puff up making all those ‘gobble gobble' noises…
As
he inched towards me.
He
took his time, but finally he got to my side…
Now,
having been around geese and swans…
I
wasn’t sure if this turkey…
Wasn’t
going to go all ninja on me…
And
take flight and attack me.
I
sat very still so as not to agitate him.
And
then the next thing I know…
He
squatted down on my foot and quivered.
“Help!”
I yelped, as his claws (hope it was his claws)…
Dug
into my foot!
“What
is he doing?”
“I
don’t know,” Lucy said running over...
I’ve
never seen him do this.”
“I
think he’s doing the nasty,” Kelly said, cracking up.
“Please
get him off! I said.
“Oh
I think he just did,” Lucy said cracking up too.
And
with that…
The
turkey got up and gobble wobbled away.
Well!
I never!
I
knew there might be a new guy in my life—someday…
But
who would have thought he’d be a turkey?
And
the reason I was even at the barn?
Actually,
there’s a new life on Lucy’s ranch…
This
little filly.…
Isn’t she adorable?
Ever been stalked by an animal?
Have a great weekend.
Always,
Em-Musing
