Today's word is "calvous" ... KAL-vuhs ... lacking all or most of the hair on the head; bald.
Imagine
Who would choose a turkey,
To be our symbol bold,
To represent a nation?
There is a story told.
Franklin was the one who thought
The turkey would be fine,
Because it was a native,
And would make a fine design.
But the bold and calvous eagle,
Was to hold the place,
That symbolized our greatness,
And won the great bird race!
I can't quite see the turkey,
On our nation's seal,
Holding into arrows ...
But he does make a great meal!
