Funny Thanksgiving Limerick set Contest Sponsored by Tania Kitchin 06/11/23

If turkey’s all marched on congress With anger they cannot suppress They could get some relief If people just ate beef Could Biden save them from distress! Thanksgiving is one day each year All turkeys are worried I hear As for many their fate Is on a dinner plate No wonder these fowl live in fear

Biden should employ those turkeys as advisors… it’s a win win… turkeys get to live longer and US politics is on the up. Best of luck in the contest, Jan

The chicken already carries a sign: Eat more beef, so the turkey roast may have to find another way…Hiding under the gravy doesn’t help either!

Hi Jam, great write. When I saw how "meat" is "grown" on factory farms, I gave it up years ago. Wising you all the best~ hugs Warren

good set, Jan. It sounds like the kind of thing Biden would worry about instead of protecting our country from illegal aliens.

Our CNN news is acting like he will win the next election. They are lying idiots to think even half the country likes the stuff he has done to our country. I can't believe he is not impeached with his clandestine doings with China and laundering money in Ukraine. I never thought a president could be more upsetting to me than Trump was. Both of them need to take themselves out of the game

I agree...his priorities are out of whack!

ha! very funny, jan! actually, there is a tradition where the president does pardon a turkey or two every year and there's a huge photo op of him with the turkey(s). as for the rest of them, it's on to the chopping block...

Yes I was only told about them pardoning one turkey it made me lol:-) hugs Jan xx
