Tommy Turkey - typo edit

Tommy Turkey revealed that last year Farmer Joe made old friends disappear. To the new birds he said, “Heed my words or be dead should that farmer with axe reappear.” The new birds thought his tale was a fable. Tommy cried, “Run as fast as you’re able.” To the corn field he fled while his dumb friends instead ended up on a Thanksgiving table.

How ironic that the last thing they said to Tommy was, effectively, “Get stuffed!” Fun Limerick, Andrea. Best of luck in Tania’s contest (I presume).

Smart Turkey. Now that he’s grown old and tough he won’t need to hide anymore. This was gobblicious.

That's what happens when the voice of experience is ignored! This is an excellent double Limerick, Andrea! ~ Regards // paul
