Thanksgiving Joy Ride

Thanksgiving Joy Ride

Thanksgiving turkey bought at the store
Wow! Twenty-five pounds - maybe more!
Ran out of stuffing
There's no overstuffing!
Pleas for open market implored.

Fully stuffed turkey seen through oven door
Ready to carve - aromas galore!
Platter gets tipped!
Turkey gets flipped!
Bird takes a joy ride on the floor.

Regina Elliott November 20, 2023 at 3:26 PM What a Thanksgiving hoot, Sam! The big turkey skidding on the floor, lol! Probably not too funny when it happened. :))))) a warm and blessed Thanksgiving to you and your family. ~ My very best wishes for the contest!

Bill Baker November 14, 2023 at 9:22 PM Great Limerick, Sam, this happens to someone, somewhere, every Thanksgiving I'm sure. I hope none of our friends have this experience this year. A poet friend in Texas, Bill
