"limerick" Turkeys

For Donna Golden's competition "Ode to the Turkey" Dear turkeys, keep feeding like kings And flapping your high protein wings For unknown to you - dears You'll soon sit on your - rears And be roasted and stuffed - you poor things. You'll be sliced up and spiced up so soon So have fun for your last afternoon You ones with big wings Are such sexy things Too bad you will soon meet your doom. You bring Christmas to life for us all Oh! pardon my pun! and my gall My hubby's a veggie So I feel a bit edgy But stuff it, today it's my call.

I guess this is another contest I probably missed being new here. I do so love when people write "good" funny poems and this is sure a good one! (At first I thought maybe it was a parody about our congressmen or for the bankers, such big turkeys they are feeding like kings) Luv, andrea
