Good Samaritan saves Brookline pedestrian from sinister beak of pursuing turkey

In the land of turkeys in turkey weather
At the base of the statue, we go round and round.
What a beautiful history, beautiful surprise!
Monsieur is on horseback. The horse is covered with mice.
This dance has no name. It is a hungry dance.
We dance it out to the tip of Monsieur’s sword,
Reading the lordly language of the inscription,
Which is like zithers and tambourines combined:

The Founder of the State. Whoever founded
A state that was free, in the dead of winter, from mice?
What a beautiful tableau tinted and towering,
The arm of bronze outstretched against all evil!

– Wallace Stevens

I have not paid much attention to the whole "threatening urban turkeys" thing, but seriously, people let these birds harass them? I wouldn't mess with Canada geese, but turkeys, seriously?
