I had a disturbing dream about a turkey – and now Christmas is ruined

The Independent  

THE NO-TURKEY DINNER A whole month ahead of Christmas I had the turkey dream; A dream of un-baked ideas, of being unable to find solutions To problems, of attempting to cook a turkey and failing. Because when I presented it to my beloved, Tripping at the rug-edge so the turkey escaped its tin foil and tipped Nakedly into his lap, head and feet still attached, rubbery as a toy, It was still alive. I wondered If I should put it in the fridge where maybe, by tomorrow, my dream Would have resolved itself and the turkey would be dead and ready For another toasting and the knife. I sigh at its mounds of grieving meat And know there is no way this Christmas that I’ll eat A turkey roast.
