Kim Rodrigues Poet Limerick

Don T Be a Turkey

DON’T BE  A  TURKEY

O Tom, he has wisdom and marmite.
Others they like spreading delight-
ful vegemite,
which seems quite spite-
ful. Still Tom does think they’ll try a bite.

What think you, of stuffing a turkey?
You’d rather eat marmite on crusty
thick bread? A smile
and all the while
your friends, over vegemite, lusty.

So don’t be a turkey, dear Tom, sir.
That jar, with its cap, away with her.
Your friends be snick-
ering…a trick,
while they have a lick of their spoons, sir.

Tom Cunningham October 28, 2022 at 8:23 AM Lol, this is an absolute gem Kim, marmite, turkey I love them both, roast potatoes cooked in marmite are to die for. Tom Kim Rodrigues October 28, 2022 at 10:38 AM I see! I see! This poem just came together with Tom and Turkey. LOL…glad you enjoyed it! :)

Paghunda Zahid October 21, 2022 at 10:57 AM Haha that's funny. Very well penned.. Cheers Kim Rodrigues October 21, 2022 at 1:56 PM Thank you, Paghunda!

Maurice Rigoler October 16, 2022 at 6:32 AM Not a big turkey fan, Kim. Prefer a roast chicken, the darker meat especially. And I don't attend thanksgiving dinners anymore – same old stuff every year! Wild turkeys still appear in these parts of New England around this time, and not a few, from lazyness or stupidity, end up on the highways for scavenger crows and other creatures looking for a free meal. Enjoyed your poem. / Maurice Kim Rodrigues October 16, 2022 at 11:11 AM I love the white meat with gravy and the accompaniments. Still I don’t need the “stuffing!” LOL. Thanks, Maurice!

Rico Leffanta October 14, 2022 at 11:12 AM When they interviewed Universal CEO Donna Langley, she said, "I'm English! I love my Marmite sandwich!" so Tom knows where to get Marmite when he is in Hollywood! As for turkeys . . . . Enjoyed! Aloha! Kim Rodrigues October 14, 2022 at 11:46 AM LOL! Thank you, Rico! Aloha!

Jenna Logan October 14, 2022 at 10:30 AM I cannot imagine a turkey stuffed with marmite or vegemite, whatever those things may be. I make a potato and oyster dressing, which may sound yucky to lots of people, but is yummy. Love your humor, Kim. Jenna Logan October 14, 2022 at 10:59 AM and you'd be back for more... lol Thanks, Kim. Kim Rodrigues October 14, 2022 at 10:37 AM Thanks, Jenna! Many things we haven’t tried. I would take a bite of your dressing :)
