Jan Allison Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Only Stupid Turkey's Vote For Thanksgiving - For Contest

Let’s push for the turkey to be the national bird
So many birds could be spared, so spread the word

Every turkey should be pushing for congress
To help them out of their mass slaughtering mess

If the turkey becomes the national bird
Maybe their clucking will still be heard

They could become a protected species
Rather than be in tasty thanksgiving recipes

Turkey’s vote for thanksgiving to be banned
Then there will be even more turkey’s ruling the land!

Andrea Dietrich October 18, 2015 at 8:18 PM still loving this one. One of your funniest of the week, Jan. Remind me what all I was supposed to take a look at. I think I have seen everything you mentioned to me for today. I better get going to make dinner now. Caught up on comments and can't even think of a next contest to do!! Jan Allison October 19, 2015 at 1:14 AM I do few too funny ones - am not motivated for the kids contest yet:-( hugs Jan xx

Duke Beaufort October 17, 2015 at 10:22 AM Yes, very funny. We also are amazed at the way we raise so many animals for slaughter. It's not like we only raise the ones we need to keep the grasslands under control. This goes way beyond and the pollution from all this activity is massive. Jan Allison October 17, 2015 at 10:33 AM It's bit of a tongue in cheek write Duke but I had fun with it -:-) hugs jan x

Paul Callus October 16, 2015 at 11:05 AM You are NOT a stupid turkey, Jan!!! Your last line is ample proof of that:) Once the turkey vote goes through, I propose we vote to protect all other animals! Veggies anyone?:) Hugs // paul Jan Allison October 16, 2015 at 11:23 AM At least the turkeys won't be voting for Christmas Paul lol:-) hugs jan xx

Causes unknown? Anyway, I for one, vote for your delightful proposal, dear Jan! What animal is next? haha! hugs Jan Allison October 15, 2015 at 7:09 AM Thanks Demtrios - I have had the same issue myself I know I've commented on poems especially for contests yet when I got to congratulate the comment isn't there yet I know I've commented on it:-( hugs Jan xx
