Funny Thanksgiving Limerick Contest

Sponsor: Tania Kitchin ~ November 8, 2023

Last Thanksgiving Day, I was berated By my mother-in-law, I am hated "You left giblets inside!" She screamed. I could've died My turkey dinner was doomed; ill-fated I wanted to clobber her with a spoon While she went on mocking me like a loon My husband shut her down Her smirk became a frown When he called her a dried-up wrinkled prune

Oh, Jan. Brennan volunteered to help me prepare the turkey but got grossed out when I removed the giblets and neck from inside the turkey. You should've seen his face! Thanks and hugs.

Unless you’ve had one, you don’t know the touchiness of it.
