Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Tom Turkey's Plight

Thanksgiving Day loomed for old Tom Turkey

    Avoiding the dreaded ax seemed murky

        So he made this doleful plea

            I'd be much obliged if ye

                Enjoyed a feast of ham or beef jerky

Andrea Dietrich November 9, 2021 at 3:38 PM I do not like turkey for thanksgiving or for ANYtime, so he is pretty safe with ME. Nicely done!

Charles Messina November 9, 2021 at 4:53 AM Good Limerick, Robert. Do you know what Tom said when he had seen the ax. Duck, duck, goose (lol) Long time, my friend.

L Milton Hankins November 8, 2021 at 3:49 PM Good one, Robert. Or, that you send me to the White House, where I will probably get pardoned!!!! Robert L. Hinshaw November 8, 2021 at 4:32 PM Thanks, Milton - great to hear from you. A WH pardon might be old Tom's last resort! Happy Thanksgiving to you - Bob H
