A priceless bird



There it is fresh organic turkey in it's prime

A 15 pound bird that shouldn't take a great deal of cooking time

Where is the price and what do I see?

An 85 dollar sticker staring back at me

I thought to myself does this bird wear diamond rings on his toes?

The butcher cut off his head and feet so nobody knows

What did this bird eat to be such a high priced bird?

Was it caviar, steak or shrimp

no one will utter a word.

Surely this bird is safe to eat because it cost so much money

Would you buy from a store that begins with the letter P

and do you think that is funny?

  1. Max is so cute. Some foods are getting expensive. Smart Balance peanut butter went from $2.99 to $5.98 in an instant. $85 for a 15 lb turkey does sound high, but I rarely buy anything organic.
