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

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

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
