Because the Redskins were playing the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day I ginned up a Football Pool. As I finished marking up the pool however, out of nowhere, I thought “Maybe I should draw a turkey on here somewhere.”
Bear in mind now that I have absolutely zero artistic talent so why I would even begin to think about trying to draw anything is sort of startling to begin with. But I guess somewhere in the dark recesses of my mind, there lingers a grade school memory of a nun directing us to draw a turkey. Perhaps that long ago experience triggered something in my brain that made think I could and hence should draw a turkey. And boy was I wrong.
However, after a couple half-assed attempts to do so, I gave it up and did what any hipster would do – googled “How to draw a turkey.” I found this sample that I think I could probably do if I took my time. (I don’t know though, that beak part looks a little tricky. I may have to practice some to get that just right.)
All of which is a good excuse to play John’s supposed drug withdrawal song. Truth of the matter is that John wrote it following a case of food poisoning. (If true, I’m betting that Yoko had something to do with that. John thought that it sounded too candy asssed to admit that it was about food poisoning so he attributed it to heroin withdrawal.)
This is an ironic twist wouldn’t you say when years ago he tried to explain Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds was not about LSD but about some drawing that his kid drew and brought home from school. How much more candy assed can one get? Too, I wonder what would have happened had the kid brought home a drawing of a turkey in the sky with diamonds! (See post title.)
