She had the nerve to ruin dinner
by telling everyone she was dropping
out of school and moving to Vermont
to live in a small town.
She said she couldn't see the point
in education anymore. Everything
she ever learned she had forgotten,
or so she said.
Her Mother cried, her Father fumed
and the Turkey sat on the table
without a word. Her parents thought
her to be selfish but she disagreed.
How could they be so upset,
she wondered to herself. Don't they
want me to be happy? Don't they
want me to find my path?
It was then she learned how differently
we measure happiness. The turkey
could express no further disapproval
as it was carved away from existence.
