Beryl Edmonds Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Written - 14th November 2023

A Plucky Thanksgiving

A turkey was being plucked and it hurt
He was in pain and his fowl words were curt
He pecked at the plucker
Said “sing for your supper”
And then ran for his life overexert.

Now the turkey's in the altogether 
He is feeling lighter than a feather 
He's thankful to be here 
And for losing his gear 
All he is wanting now is fine weather.

Hope no one yells, 'Fowl!' ~ Foul Ball Beryl Edmonds November 27, 2023 at 1:37 PM The turkey would rather be naked than baked and was more than pleased to have escaped. Thank you Gershon, Belle

The Situation November 14, 2023 at 6:46 PM Never plucked a turkey before. But this doesnt give much hope either. Beryl Edmonds November 14, 2023 at 7:09 PM I haven’t plucked a turkey either and wouldn’t want to neither, the thought is quite disturbing. Thank you TS… Belle
