If I were a turkey now Thanksgiving's nigh
I'd be worried that I might end up in a pie!
But if you should catch me
and pluck out my feathers -
then I'd need a warm coat
to wear out in all weathers!
This is down to the Monday's Child prompt for this week, which gave me a chance to give my blogpals across the pond a little grin. The illustration is by Michelle Lana.
Very impressed with the picture to go with Ma, which came first?!?
ReplyDeleteNo, dear daughter - you haven't quite got the message! The picture was a given prompt - I just wrote the daffy rhyme! LOL XX
ReplyDeleteDelightfully silly! Warm regards from one of those blogpals across the pond!
ReplyDeleteDaffy rhyme? I was thinking we could use that as part of our Thanksgiving prayer.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, Thanksgiving turkeys need to worry over here :).
ReplyDeleteI still laugh about your "ungrateful lot" statement to me last year......yes those poor turkeys must really dislike Thanksgiving and Christmas.
ReplyDelete.......:-)Hugs
Delightful!! :o)
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely bit of 'nonsense'

ReplyDeletecanadian turkeys have already been through the 2010 thanksgiving mill so the ones still standing are likely holding their breath 'till christmas!!! steven

ReplyDeleteVery adroit, Fraulien Jinksy. I'm thinking of a ditty beginning -
ReplyDelete"Oh say can you see my fine Thanksgiving Pie"

ReplyDeleteThere is lots onf turkey jokes over here this time of year. One tired and old one involves stuffing turkey with popcorn and and oven cooking it. It is done with the popcorn blows the as___ our of the turkey; there are a dozen varieties of this overworked joke.
ReplyDeleteGooseflesh on a turkey is unbecoming . . .
ReplyDeleteDon't worry little turkey.. the oven is nice and warm. No coat needed.
ReplyDeleteSad to be a turkey
