The Cursed Turkey

The Cursed Turkey

A Poem by Poetic Beauty
"

simply funny

"

The antique grandfather clock struck five

People gathered around the table

Signaling dinner soon would arrive

 

Delicious smells wafted in the room

What a grand occasion this would be

Everyone feasting together soon

 

But the golden turkey was cursed

Plagued to hit the slippery floor

The Great Dane got to dine first

 

 

Its  massive jaws were a direct hit

Gnawing and chewing on our grub

Children cried launching loud fits

 

This chapter now comes to an end

As the adults migrate to the door

For eating here will not begin

First I like your rhyming here, each word at the end of the sentence had that extra hmpf to it. I wonder how many families this has happened too. Personally if that was Dog he would be outside in the cold for the entire winter reflecting on what he did! LOL....

A very sad story for the family. What happen to the dog? Animals and family gathering don't mix. A excellent poem. Made me laugh.

An excellent light-hearted scene. I personally vouch for the fact that it has played out with minor variations within my own house. An excellent piece.

yep this sure made me smile, i really like this one a lot. such an interesting take on an otherwise relatively boring subject. i sure loved this a lot!
one thing i really felt though, although these are of course my random thoughts, is that you could make this even funnier.

"This chapter now comes to an end
As the adults migrate to the door
For eating here will not begin"
what i meant was that when you wrote about the adults going to the door, i felt that that was a great set-up for another funny scene.
great writing!!
