Turkey for Dinner

an ironic limerick

A turkey who came to my door

thought I would eat him for sure

“Don’t worry,” I said,

“I’m an utter veg-head.”

So now feeding him is my chore.

I don't get out much...

LOL! Thanks for the advice, Pryde!

Ha!
He knows what time of year it is, and he'd heard of you and your veg-head ways...
He came to your house to hide out till the holiday season is over.
Pretty smart, for a turkey...

I wouldn't be surprised if you got a visit from Arnold the pig this coming Easter...

Oh, no! I hope I haven't started a trend - all the animals knocking on my door! :)

[Angel]

Yep...it could get crowded!

Gobble, gobble!!

Lol! Of course, I'd have to figure out where to keep him here in the city! :)

Cute WITH a logical ending...

Well, I can't just let him starve, can I? ;) Thanks, Chris!

Lucky turkey! This is a very cute poem.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks, Blue - now I have to find turkey feed in the city... ;)

In all honesty they're not that smart you can probably get away with chicken feed lol.
