Tomorrow, Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

One lone turkey will walk down Pennsylvania Avenue through the gates of the people's house, the White House.

One lone turkey will strut in front of the lights ahead of the hoopla.

One turkey among many will pick its beak up off the ground as he enters the west wing.

Tomorrow, Wednesday November 25th, 2009, one lone turkey will have his plea for clemency answered, a turkey from a bad situation, a turkey from a bad environment, a turkey who has made bad choices.

Tomorrow, one turkey gets a second chance.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, November 25th, 2009, one turkey will be trotting a little prouder as he walks down these hallowed halls for an appointment with destiny.

Tomorrow, one turkey will bear great responsibility, one lone turkey will be answer to all the turkeys who weren't selected, whose letters went unanswered.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, November 25th, 2009, one turkey will be pardoned by the President of the United States of America.

One turkey will be a free bird.
