Not a Tiny Tom Turkey

Guineas: The Gold Standard Among Fowl!

Guineas, Guineas

Guineas are really odd creatures,

as speckled as the great speckled bird,

but they don't share that other's great features.

Fact is, they look rather absurd.

A tad smaller in size than a chicken,

and its head, just a bit turkey-like,

it can fly since it never does thicken,

but keeps itself young as a tyke.

Life was harder when everyone had to use guineas as currency!
