Christmas Dinner

Oh my gawd it’s Henrietta sitting on that platter Said the 4 year old without it seeming to matter Every head shot around as though they hadn’t seen This was darling Henrietta the backyard turkey queen She had strutted round that yard obeying her every need Now she was xmas lunch who did the deadly deed Who killed Henrietta, was the woeful plea Everyone looked at each other said it wasn’t me Was the butcher I confessed, it’s what we kept her for Fattening her up for Xmas, wasn’t that the score. Well we looked at Henrietta, stuffed with sausagemeat and stuff Decided we were vegetarians, and the veggies were enough. Dated 18/11/2012

This was a very clever one, seren. Glad to see it on the winner list. What part of England do you live in? Until the other day I didn't even know you were from across the ocean!!

LOL, oh no that is too bad. Wasted turkey. Too funny. I love it. You just humanize the turkey. Don't know if I can eat it again now, Seren :))
