Turkey's Dont Enjoy Thanksgiving
Today it is Thanksgiving Day
For all dead turkey’s I do pray
That you had a good life
Now you’re carved with a knife
Served on a plate as the entrée
Have a great Thanksgiving folks!

Thomas Turkey Avoids the Dreaded Axe
Tom Turkey got lost 'midst the teeming flock,
Thus, avoiding the dreaded chopping block!
Hunkering down spared his life,
Averting the carving knife!
He now recovers from traumatic shock!

Turkey Dinner Turn Tail and Run
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.

Frozen in Fear
Twas exhausted night before Thanksgiving,
after few eggnog Whiskeys, relieving
Awful chilling and spooky,
Boo-hoo, the turkey soupy,
Homegrown, fear fill eyes were unforgiving.

For Canadian Eyes Only
Happy Thanksgiving to all you Canucks
I'd send you a card and maybe some bucks
but I'm broke
that's no joke
Stay close to the fire and wear your mukluks

Which Turkey To Take - a Thanksgiving Limerick
The man had a tough choice to make
Which of the birds should he take?
Both turkeys looked good
But he thought that he should
Take the jenny instead of the jake.

autumn
opaque wings fairy sound
swirling hues gather round
glide without care
past our sad stare
final rest on the ground.

Turkey Day For a Lame Duck
Now pouts the ex-president Trumpty
his turkey-day gravy’s all lumpy
he’s down on his luck
for he’s a lame duck
his a** voters threw in the dumpty

Thanksgiving In the Mirror
With "plenty" this culture's endowed
Bad outcomes are never allowed!
But nature's stealthy
And notes for the wealthy
Silver linings come with a cloud

A Not So Good Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a day to be grateful,
Not a day to be grumpy or hateful.
But a burnt pumpkin pie,
And a turkey that's dry,
Might make it hard to be elateful.*

*(I realize elateful is not a word, but I claim poetic
license.)

Canada's Thanksgiving
It's Canada's Thanksgiving, today is the day
We give thanks for a country that continues to amaze
Peaceful and prospering
Steadfast and unfaltering
Proud as punch to be Canadian, this oath I convey

Terrorism Warning For Thanksgiving
This antique house has old bowels
An attack could give us the scowls
The toilet must flow
And we want you to know
It’s bad if you flush paper towels!

Happy T Day
Happy day of giving thanks to all Ameri-cans
enjoy your feasting-football-family, party-hearty plans
even to you
who do tofu
instead of turkey (those birds, your biggest fans)

Overlooked Tradition
Deprived pilgrim wives ruminated
On ways to get hubbies elated:
After Thanksgiving chow
Ogling men hollered “wow!”
As wet-shirted women they rated.

Thanksgiving
Now on this thanksgiving day
Whilst you wash your dinner away
With wine and coffee creamy topped
And listen to the music bop
I wish you all the turkey trots

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

Turkey Day
Let’s thank God for this turkey day
But all of the birds have runaway
They must of seen the axe
Don’t think they could relax
Left all their feathers in the hay

Turkey Gobbler
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

Our Thanksgiving Pants
We all commented that the turkey was grand,
somebody saying the gravy was too bland,
we had said Grace,
stuffed our faces,
thank God for pants with elastic waist bands!

Thanksgiving
The Pilgrims were woefully thinner
But learned what to eat from a sinner
In thanks for their living
They held a Thanksgiving
And ate Wampanoag for dinner

A Turkeys Eulogy
A turkey named Betty who knew better,
Slipped and let a well known butcher get her
Her last day of living,
To be on Thanksgiving
But she was loved by all those who "et" her!

Thanks
Get out of my way
That's what I say
When making my way to the table
And after some meat, stuffing and treats
I'll walk away if I am able
Happy Thanksgiving everyone
and if you do not celebrate it in you country
I'll just have to have your slice of pie

Funny Thanksgiving Limerick
Grandma burns the food and is no cook
She needs to stick to reading a book
Fire covers the turkey
It tastes like beef jerky
Paula brought food we are off the hook

Tom Turkey Evades the Axe Again
Tom Turkey's doom again was kept at bay
He wasn't picked for Thanksgiving entree
Hunkered down to keep his head
His pals were victims instead
Tom survived to live for another day

My Thanksgiving Poem
My Thanksgiving Poem
We re giving God thanks for the creation.
Of America that is another new nation;
Happiness existed;
Love persisted,
And there now will be a big celebration.
