Tom

He was a very handsome lad A very good life he had Out proud he held his chest More beautiful then the rest So it was him that we picked The others were very ticked They didn't realize how lucky they were As we took Tom and walked out the door I sat here today and my fingers I did lick This was the best turkey we ever picked Your Choice Verse contest for Brian Strand Honorable Mention

Enjoyed reading this poem a second time, Carol. If you get the Hallmark channel, look out for a movie called "A Dog Named Christmas." You'll love it. Congratulations on your success in Brian's contest! Love and blessings for a Happy Thanksgiving, Carolyn

Carol!!! I went straight to YOUR NAME and wanted to know if your husband knew about Tom?? ha ha. Well, of course he did, he probably helped PURCHASE him. A great turkey spooff from the very talented Miss Carol! Hilarious one, lady. Love, Gwendolen
