A Turkey Spreads Its Ugly Short Wings And Dances! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

A Turkey Spreads Its Ugly Short Wings And Dances!



An uneducated person who does not have a
methodical education, but learnt one poem from
the learned persons trying to expose his ignorance

is like a turkey - by seeing the peacock raises
its beautiful long feathers into a fan and quivers -
also spreading its ugly short wings and dances!
