Penny was cooking turkey and cake Ingredients measured set to bake Blades rumbled in motion Mixed then baked her potion Then discovered her false teeth misplaced Shaking her bake a chatter was heard Sounded like a gobbledy gooch bird Screamed to what she had saw Dropped the dish on the floor A turkey talking, she saw and heard Gave such a fright she shook in terror Was then realized her own error Food got mixed by mistake Turkey Cake did create Topped with fine grated cheese cheddar After that, pair new glasses were made New set of teeth and a hearing aid Story became her fame Came a new cash flow gain With riches, employed cook and a maid. 13.12.20 Syllable count on each line and verse 9/ 9 /6 /6 /9

Haha, you've mastered the limerick form, I often wondered why some cakes are crunchy, now I know. Tom

A splendid story told incredibly well in limerick form. I am clapping and Trixie, my muse is kicking her feet in the air screaming with delight.
