Kim Merryman Poet Limerick

A Not So Good Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a day to be grateful,
Not a day to be grumpy or hateful.
But a burnt pumpkin pie,
And a turkey that's dry,
Might make it hard to be elateful.*

*(I realize elateful is not a word, but I claim poetic
   license.)

Andrea Dietrich November 29, 2012 at 3:04 PM poetic license is very liberal with limericks, Kim, since it's all about humor. This is a very good one you did!! I happen to like my turkey meat white and dry. hahaha GREAT limerick.
