The Night Before - 4' Contest Sponsored by Joseph May

Twas the night before Christmas late dinner. Table set, waiting for Conner, a beginner. Wondering which turkey will be a winner. Wild round neighborhood, non any thinner. Turkeys saw the peaceful neighbor coming, Plain funny, stomping heavy, and humming. Toms all disappeared and hid while thumbing Energetic to all the hens to stop chumming. Neighbor looked all through the woods becoming Fully stressed out, he saw his evident shortcoming. In thought, no turkey round rhythmic drumming His weapon. In an awkward look, little unbecoming. Turkeys out of sight, outsmarted in the battlefield. A series of loud banter yelps filled the field. Turkey heads yield, poking out the brush, concealed. Glaze ham dressed like turkey for dinner revealed.
