Best Gobble Poems

Here’s a bunch of Gobble-de-Gook
There is no sense or reason
I just threw together some stuff I read
Which constitutes poetic treason!

Here’s a fact about knowledge and wisdom
A fact which I know is valid
Knowledge is knowing a Tomato’s a fruit
Wisdom- not putting it in a Fruit Salad!

The “gobble-oscopy” 


When the chef succumbed to his bottle
twenty turkeys escaped without gobble
took an apple and stuck it
where no one would pluck it
so the chef giving chase could but hobble

Screech, Coo, or Gobble –for contest


The Dove!!
What would we do
in the darkness of icy winter
sit cold and hungry
listen to its inane cooing?

The Eagle!!
The lofty hermit…
soaring above - alone
screeching at the wind
unapproachable aerie dweller.

The Turkey!!
Ah, the delectable turkey
fat thighs of hefty drumsticks
pale white meaty breast
sweet rendezvous...

The turkey king struts around the yard this year
Nothing is to bother him he has nothing to fear
With Christmas around the corner he has to be brave
He has lots of Christmas turkeys that he must save

The butchers are sharpening their knives already
The turkey king is...

A man had a parrot that talked so bad
A worst vocabulary no one had

The man attempted to make correction
The parrot threw epithets in every direction

Finally exasperated in a fit of rage
The man pulled the parrot out of his cage

Threw him in the freezer to cool...

Stuffing, pickles, olives too
A wishbone for me and you
Cranberries and pumpkin pie
Dig right in now, don't be shy
Dark or white meat, it's your choice
Every things juicy and moist
Mashed potatoes, carrots, squash
Peeled, sliced, carefully washed
Football games on big T.V.s
Loud belches from beer bellies
Leftovers are wrapped up...

Gobble 

Gobble gobble, 
that's what they say, 
nearly every day... 
I go out to greet them. 
I go out to meet them. 
I go out to feed them, 
I need them, 
as they make me laugh. 

They are clumsy they are klutzy, 
they are ballerinas...

Gobble, gobble Tom Turkey said
hurry up and get out of bed

	we run away
or we’ll be stuffed with hot cornbread...

Gobble gobble ho ho ho it's the language of the season
Time for long johns, mittens as well as coughing and sneezin'
Kissing strangers in the street
Blubbering emotion you excrete
Mostly it's time for a “you, your wife and Santa” threesome!...

I was thinking - why do we eat turkey ?
The history of it is just quirky,
eat veggie pizza, why not;
home made- from the oven hot,
why not forget about gobblers perky !

Oh, turkeys run, run as fast as you can,
or you will be roasting in...

Gobble the breast if you can get it off the leg.
What is going on? Asked Pirate Captain Sleg.
Honey Butter dressing will be great on the finger.
Thigh drippings will make you want to linger.

The platter looks dirty. It needs a dry rub.
Where is the desert for...

Go and stretch a puppy's tail,
    Get with rice a manioc root,
Tell me if sun will buy moon a veil,
    Or to who he gave her leather boot,
Teach me to hear coyote’s singing,
Or to keep off drunk bees’ stinging,

A former Oiler once said 
Staying out of debt 
Give up being a bum 
Fill up my son 
Call yourself a titan 
And go do some fighting 
Years then passed 
While pumping gas 
This entrepreneur realized 
There has been one too many lies 
Staring down...
