Out of the Frying Pan

The
Turkey
That escaped
This thanksgiving
Wanting more living
Had fled in November
In hope he would remember
The route with the fastest vessel
To Britain where Christmas was special

It had been for Andrea’s November Nonet contest. I just wasn’t convinced it was worthy. Ummed and ahhed (?) until it was too late. Doing that a lot lately. Did it with ‘Stay or Go’ for the ‘If Id Stayed’ contest. But glad you enjoyed, Malabika. Terry
