Thanksgiving Turkey (Inverse Double Epulaeryu)
Nice turkey for Thanksgiving
Flavorful tasting
Dressing aroma rising
Temperature on low
Sage wings, breast and thighs
Like a rose
Sweet!
Ahhh!
Chardonnay
Fine cranberry sauce
Well seasoned gravy
Succulent taste such splendor
Cornish hen—it’s last!
Turkey on my plate—gone fast!
