Tom flew down to Turkey to play
But found at the end of the day
Putin had to gobble
So there was a squabble
Hence the Marmite-Putin soufflé

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.

Turkey farmer Jones was seen as a kook.
Many declared his whole life was a fluke.
But they were not aware
Jones had learned a skill rare,
he was fluent in speaking gobbledygook.

So let the Kurds scatter

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.

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.

No Bordeaux
There once was a young man from Turkey
Whose food tastes were known to be quirky
On braised lamb with Bordeaux
He had quickly said no
And asked if they had some Beef Jerky

State Buds
I do like European food
Hungary and right in the mood,
I Czech'd the specialty
And Finnished a Turkey -
O'slo I did eat, t'was so good!

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

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.*

Southern Comfort
Cletus finds comfort in Southern Comfort
The day is lost if he don't have a snort
He doesn't like Four Roses
Old Turkey he opposes
He prefers Southern Comfort by the quart

He Wears His Golf Cap Up High
He Wears His Golf Cap Up High
His eyes throw comic arrows at his golf shot
Juggernaut after another, and a turkey trot
Double fidgets, a puppet swing
Slices and hooks on a string
Knees and feet wobble, his lessons went to pot

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)

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

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

Thomas the Turkey
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

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

Black Fryday
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

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!

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!

Turkey Feed
Now the turkeys are feeding like kings
And they flap round their high protein wings
Soon unknown to the dears
They will sit on their rears
And be roasted and stuffed, the poor things

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
