Coming down a country driveway

Found an intriguing sight this day

A bevy of wild turkeys hobnobbing

Their heads swaying and bobbing  



Went along slowly, splitting the pack

Watching the birds go this way and that

Half were running down the hill to the left

Whilst other half scurried up to the hill's crest



What's amazing is - even though they split ...

They walked away quietly without any fit

And so I watched them march up the hill

Feeling quite pleased they were whole, still
