Linda Alice Fowler Poet Limerick

Nobble Wobble

The cry of the turkey's gobble
left me in a cranky nobble
	so I could fall sleep
	no sound should he peep
stupefied, my head did wobble 

armed with a hatchet in my hand
hoping a final blow to land
	he ran, zigged and zagged
	he dodged, jigged and jagged
I could not land the chop I planned 

when at last my greatest chance came
though red-eyed, I took deadly aim
	my aim was way off
	the turkey did scoff
this Thanksgiving was turning lame

no turkey please, I’ll just abstain
my determination did wane
	sleep overrated
	ego deflated 
bird became perpetual bane
