Short Gobbler Poems

There once was a turkey named Tom
Always persecuted by those with aplomb
   He managed a stay
   From one with much sway
But still served to all with much calm...

There once was a gobbler named Tom,
Who thought himself quite the fowl homme,
Though hens thought him a cad,
Pilgrims thought he was rad,
Especially stuffed, roasted and basted...nom, Nom NOM!!...

the inlaws and outlaws have left
the turkey has so much less heft
got pies for the flies
and naps for the eyes
the icebox has suffered from theft

but

still got ‘nuff leftovers to make peach gobbler...

Thomas the Turkey was a real gobbler
Been way overweight since he was a toddler
Gobbled up food, he wasn't slim
Started working out at the gym
“Go Thomas Go”, young girl turkeys would holler...

There once was a young lad named Oliver
His Mom told him, “Don't be a gobbler!”
She also said , “Son,
Ain't no prize to be won!”
The fuzz will be checking your swallometer

Thomas the Turkey was an uncontrollable gobbler
Had been way overweight since he was a toddler
Gobbled up lotsa food, he wasn't slim
So he started working out at the local gym
“Go Go Thomas”, the young girl turkeys would holler

A wild gobbler strutted into the woods,
it did not see all the camouflage hoods, 
straight into a turkey shoot; 
trips over a gnarly root, 
with ruffle feathers made off with its goods.

Last night I met an incredible ghost
                               I offered him the cheese and chicken roast
                                             The ghost was a gobbler
                                               He was a bit hobbler
                               Wobbled all the way for his sweet next host...

Roll it out or squoosh it flat;
Make a pie or cobbler,
But the eater must be
An imaginary gobbler.

Form a bunch of little balls;
Fill a little bucket.
Poke some holes and when you're done 
You might decide to chuck it.

If you do, just mush it up
And stuff in its container.
Kids and time and Play Doh?
I would say a real no-brainer!...

WALK IN THE DOOR TO A LOVELY SMELL.
THE SMELL OF PEACHES COOKING MAKES MY MOUTH WELL.
LIKE AN OVER FLOW OF CINNANOM SPRINKLING AND CRUST CRUNCHING
THAT MOUTH WATERING DELITE
PUT INTO A BOWL AND WITH A DOUBLE SCOOP OF THIS COLD ICED
BUT SOMETHING NICE, TO BRAIN FREEZE MY MIND
TO TEASE ME WITH THIS WONDERFUL PECAN DELITE OF ICE CREAM
IN MY HEART MAKES ME SCREAM
 WITH JOY OF THIS SWEET PEACH COBBLER 
BUT NO TURKEY GOBBLER...
