Gobble, Gobble Turkey

 

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 a big pan:
flap your pretty long feathers,
run, no matter the weathers;
keeping your head- feet and all ...is the plan !

Gobble, Gobble

Gobble, gobble Tom Turkey said
hurry up and get out of bed
	today’s the day
	we run away
or we’ll be stuffed with hot cornbread

Gobble

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 in training too. 
I mean to tell you... 
all 
about 
them.

They have long necks, 
and big feet, 
not to mention
they will eat... 
everything you don't want them to, 
and nothing that you do. 

The silly birds...
ride around on the goats. 
They are like parade floats.

They walk in the water trays, 
and swim in the trough.
I tell you turkeys over chickens
are a little off.

Gibble Gobble Between Friends

We gibble-gobbled fast and furiously 
Like race cars that are about to pile up 
Three friends meeting at a restaurant
Where people are supposed to wear masks but aren’t.
All of us not waiting our turns, so eager to explain our positions.
As rude as lifelong friends can be without consequences.

Go and Stretch a Puppy's Tail - With Apology To John Donne

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,
            And sniff
            What skiff
May tell you where I gobble lollipop.


If you think that you are so witty,
    And brag you can do anything worse;
Visit all the liquor shops in the city,
    Till you spend last loonie in your purse;
You, when you come home, will tell me,
All the grand bottles that you did see,
            And swear,
            No where
You saw any man gobbling lollipop. 


If you find one, let our son know,
    It’ll water his mouth with sweet;
Yet I’m sure, son will not go,
    Though at next door you might meet;
And he were eating, when you met him,
And last, till you guide our son there,
            Yet he
            Will be
Gobbling bottles of Madeira, not lollipop.

PARODY OF A FAMOUS POEM Poetry Contest

Gobble Gobble

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

Gobble the Breast

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 the delicate club?
Here is a bit of sauce. Please cover the stuff.
If you swallow the turkey, we will show you a buff.

I was running naked, not understanding any of the lines.
I dressed rather fast, and picked up my fork tines.
Gobble the breast, what exactly did it mean?
Why was it on the leg? Was the conversation keen?

Come here and cover the deserts, while I do the turkey baste.
Caress Aunt Martha’s arm, so she can make the banana paste.
I will swallow some of the chocolates for there are way too many.
If you want some cake and cookies, there simply are not any…

Gobble Gobble

Why-why in God's name were you unleashed
time and again to rape our community
empty eyed mug shot
walking time bomb filled with hateful snot
 
...and the judges of these mad men
sitting in their sterilized cloud
high above the martyrs and maggots 
broken cinder block sanctuaries,
giving this ogre a twenty fifth bow

I pray that "it" soils your cloud
sprays its snotty seed over your pristine 
sends you tumbling into our humble community
devours everything you cherish and love
drags you down a bloody path 
of your poor judgments
happy thanksgiving
gobble -gobble

Gobble Gobble

turkey vultures
clean-up on route seventeen
tails and a tire

The Gobble-Oscopy

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

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 at dinner’s plate.

Less handsome – yet
more filling than the dove.
A sensible choice
Eagle vs Turkey
Symbol vs Sustenance
Ideals vs Pragmatism.

Gobble Fun-- Lets Eat a Ton

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 tight
For a snack late in the night
Turkey salad, soup and more
Heated gravy that you pour
On a sandwich full of flavor
Lots of things to taste and savor
Turkey day has come and gone
But it won't be very long
Till your ovens full again
Good times with family and friends

Squawk Vs Gobble

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 him off
All the while, the parrot just squawked

Then suddenly it got deathly quiet
The man felt things weren't exactly right

He opened the freezer and to his surprise
The parrot began to apologize

For being so vulgar and so obscene
He promised from now on to be serene

He said to the man, I have a question for you
What did that turkey in the freezer do?

For the Gobble, Gobble contest

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all you Soupers

Gobble-De-Gook

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!

Another fact I’d like to relate
Pay attention if you please
The early bird gets the worm
But the second mouse gets the cheese!

Another vision that I had
I know may sound bizarre
Going to church don’t make you a Christian
Nor standing in a garage won’t make you a car!

If you need cash here’s some advice
I hope that you will heed it
A bank will surely loan you some
If you can prove that you don’t need it!

Elections are a funny thing
Our choices are quite shifty
For president we choose from two
Miss America from fifty!

When faced with a payback decision
Be careful what you choose
When tempted to fight fire-with-fire
Remember water is what Firemen use.

Someone posed a question once
I admit now that I smiled
If we all learn from our mistakes
Why do people have more than one child?
