In taking an earlier clue from b‘youngbalt,
dare I start this anew with some turkey gestalt?

Not making me nervous or jerky I say
“why did that fool turkey cross that road that day?"

Dare I not continue when dear Avy sighs
That she'd like to see more before this thread dies?

And as turkey gestalt makes this existential scene
Can we read it's road-crossing as Fritz Pearls would a dream?

(Will a note help to clear the above bio reference
As one Frederick Pearls of Gestalt Therapy preference?--
And bring to mind works of his greatest repute,
"In and Out the Garbage Pail" and Esalen Institute?)

O Avy! O Musick! What you draw out from me!--
Do you plot these weird reaches of strange poetry?
Can a jerky b'youngbalt clue ignite crooked rhyme?
Is our turk such a fool, or just absent of time?
And can Jackie's new silence erupt with sweet light,
Or will it just add a notch to our deepening plight?
And all other rhymees ne're named in this breath
Pipe up or Jerk Turkey will soon meet his death!

Am I reluctant, my silence to break?
Would it truly be such a tremendous mistake?
Could I have resisted an invite so true
From anyone other than Whitman? No, who?

Why do these couplets, of Suess make me think?
Are Rhuby and Avy thus driven to drink?
I think I will join you and from now on be lurky;
And from where in the world came that goldanged old turkey?

Were dear deceased Fritz Perls to read this here thread
He'd holler at W O'N "Off with his head!"
Or maybe he wouldn't, since as Herr Gestalt,
He'd just cite some swine and not assign fault.

As for the turkeys and other things fowl,
I'll quote Allen Ginsburg and quietly 'howl.'

Are Rhuby and Avy thus driven to drink?
How of me such a Q can you ask?
Don't you realise for UK-based drinkers
Self-drive is an illegal task?

On each trip to the pub, the question I ask I
Is,"Walk there and back, or order a taxi?"

(May I beg, on my knees and before I get up, let
Me have forgiveness for not using a couplet?")
