Terry Flood Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

9 November 2023

Contest:  Thanksgiving Limerick               Sponsor: Tania Kitchin  

Borrows a little from my poem

The Beast of Stephen

_______________________________

Thanksgiving Sinner

This Thanksgiving I’ll nibble jerky
Cos somebody just named my turkey
The snow’s crisp and even
I can’t feast on Stephen
And mulled wine has made things look murky

The turkey ran huffing and puffing
And now I can’t locate my stuffing
That feathery sinner
Has gobbled my dinner
And so I’m thanks-giving for nothing

David Fisher November 10, 2023 at 4:58 AM Funny and sad, all in one. Sinner sinner jerky dinner this time around. Terry Flood November 15, 2023 at 4:00 PM I’ve just paid sixteen hundred quid for a dental fixed bridge…. There’ll be no jerky for me… so that’ll be Turkey soup then… minus the Turkey!

Daniel Turner November 9, 2023 at 4:28 PM So funny! Reads like a winner, Terry. You do humor so well! Terry Flood November 9, 2023 at 5:10 PM I can but try, Daniel. Trouble is… if I write something serious, it’s met with a wall of silence. C’est la vie. Glad you enjoyed this. Terry
