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

Oh gosh, that's a side tickler if ever there was one!

Granma's still laughing about that bird… though Grandpa couldn't give a good guffaw about it! Smiles, Gershon

She's competing with Bob Hnshaw's 'Cleotus' character for yuks. Thanks, Caren! Cheers, Gershon

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

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.

The joint was jumping, Chris! Thanks for the hilarious comment. Better than the limericks themselves! Season's best, Gershon
