Let's Talk Turkey

Greetings, fellow poets, on this day of Thanksgiving, whether or not you celebrate the American holiday.  I want you to know I appreciate the time you take to read and comment on my poetry.  For you I give thanks and acknowledge you as my friends.  

There are just a few who act like a troll, belittling some of us who try to control our anger. It's a task we shouldn't need and to your antics we'll not concede. So, listen up if you're a turkey... keep your cowardly necks out of our reach or you'll end up on a Thanksgiving table, where we'll feast on you. Never again will you be able to harass any of us. Your giblets will be in the gravy and your wishbone pulled apart. That's a promise made from the hearts of many of us who will stand and deliver the final blow. 

so, let's talk turkey
show respect for each other
don't act like a jerk

today, let's give thanks
keep the soup a peaceful place (in spite of the threat)
thank you very much

We'll have to excuse the sheriff. He's attending to some personal business. I think hiring extra deputies is a good idea, Mayor.

Thank you very much, Tom. I'll be spending it with family and friends, so I'm sure it'll be a wonderful day. Don't forget the feast later this afternoon at the saloon. The girls and I posted signs all over Soup Creek.
