The Turkey Gets His Revenge
Sitting very weary, my sight is almost bleary
Darkness crept upon me, inside my humble abode
My heart beats like a thousand drums loudly
Pounding in my head rhythmically, when out of the melody
A faint "gobble, gobble" I hear. How can this sound be?
There is no farm nor fowl ever heard near before
The gobble grows ever louder, louder, LOUDER!!
LOUDER still, heard above the drumming of my heart.
I run to the chamber door and peer sheepishly into darkness.
I begin to ponder, really wonder of the sounds...
Could it be my turkey dinner, NO absurd!
ABSURD that my dinner, could get the last word
Thunder rumbles and pain grumbles through my abdomen
Potatoes, carrots and stuffing seasoned most fine
Turkey gobble and wings aflutter; I close the shutters
Determined! No demanding silence of the roasted
Most succulent bird I've ever slid over my taste sensors
I might work on this some more...
patterned after the Raven by Edgar Allen Poe
