Who's Giving Thanks?

he thankfully grazed on gravel and grass 
then suddenly heard the deafening blast
	now rests with fruits and nuts–
	gravy boat floats his guts–
and sausage dressing's stuffed up his crevasse

The only right place for anything ‘sausage’ is in my tummy… yummy. I reckon this wouldn’t be out of place in a Halloween contest…. what with all those guts floating in gravy. A fun, EEKY and somewhat eye watering write, Linda ;-)
