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

My dear friend Linda, all my unveiled smiles when I started to read your first limerick preceded my chuckles when I've read the rests. And I've felt like planning to postpone my breakfast for immensely enjoying this limerick, ha ha ha. This is brilliantly fun my dear poet friend. I dearly love it (sooo much). BIG CONGRATS too on your win! Thanks a lot for sharing. God bless you always and your writings. Hugs

The ol turkey trot two step! Look at the bright side. At least he doesn't crow when the sun comes up:) A fun read, Alice. Take my advice. Get a shotgun:)
