A Gobbler

A Gobbler

I am a wobbler,

a gobbler,

an iridescent

bobber—

I parade

in the shade

I  run

in the sun

I am gallinaceous

some say delicious

a pecker for seeds and buds

an occasional lizard or slug

I puff

I strut

I shimmer my stuff

feathers a-fluff

town or country

I

am

turkey.
