Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Grandma Gertie's Thanksgiving Limericks

~ Grandma Gertie Keeps Her Word ~ 

  Grandma Gertie would always keep her word
  'Twas a sign of a righteous soul, she'd heard --
     Tasty turkey she'd promised
      Did her best to be honest --
  Oven went out ~ She flipped Grandpa the bird



           ~  The Right Stuff-ing ~
   
   'The stuffing's got to be from the right stuff'
   Said Gertie, then she walked off in a huff
      The kids made it all wrong
      Way too spicy, too strong
   So they smoked it ~ giving Gert the first puff

M. L. Kiser December 1, 2019 at 10:07 AM Oh gosh, that's a side tickler if ever there was one! Gershon Wolf December 1, 2019 at 12:58 PM Granma's still laughing about that bird… though Grandpa couldn't give a good guffaw about it! Smiles, Gershon

Caren Krutsinger December 1, 2019 at 9:31 AM Grandma Gertie is hilarious! Gershon Wolf December 1, 2019 at 12:59 PM She's competing with Bob Hnshaw's 'Cleotus' character for yuks. Thanks, Caren! Cheers, Gershon

Lindsay Laurie November 30, 2019 at 6:28 PM G'day Gershon ... If I was a turkey in the US, I don't think appreciate a calendar hanging up in the coop at this time of the year - thanks for your witty limericks Gershon - Lindsay Gershon Wolf November 30, 2019 at 7:28 PM You are correct about this calendar thing: After all, American turkeys can't read... Schools here just aren't doing the job anymore. LOL. Thanks! ~ Gershon

Tom Cunningham November 29, 2019 at 12:57 PM Smoked it , must try it lol. Limericks really taking off on here of late, like me you've caught limerickitus haha. Tom Gershon Wolf November 29, 2019 at 1:02 PM Hey, thanks!! Seem that limerckitus is highly contagious! LOL. Season's Best, Gershon

Chris Green November 29, 2019 at 8:58 AM These were great my friend. Flipping the bird take on an entirely new meaning on Thanksgiving day. And smoked stuffing...I guess everyone had a good time around the joint. Only you my friend. Gershon Wolf November 29, 2019 at 10:46 AM The joint was jumping, Chris! Thanks for the hilarious comment. Better than the limericks themselves! Season's best, Gershon

John Lawless November 29, 2019 at 7:28 AM Hope grandpa took it to the grill. cute. Gershon Wolf November 29, 2019 at 10:45 AM There's no telling what Grandpa might do with that bird! Hard to put your finger on ole Grandpa, you know. LOL. Thanks, John! Season's best, Gershon
