This is beautifully penned nonsense that sounds like a limirick. I agree that the plumper the Turkey is, the more chance it has to be dinner as you've so eloquently stated. Thanks for sharing this humorous and well written work. Well done!

This is a very cute use of the limerick form on what is, of course, a very timely subject. I did wonder why there was such an upswing of bulimic and anorexic poultry, and now I fully understand.

Your poem is funny and original, you did well with the limerick syllable pattern, and your rhymes are very well chosen.

Well, I'm vegetarian so no turkeys have to fear a fork in the rump from me. I like to think that I've saved a bird or two over the years. Your poem is amusing and timely at this vulnerable Thanksgiving holiday. Marilyn

Hi,
I enjoyed your humor. The cartoon is appropriate and adds to your poem. I often wonder if turkeys can feel their death approaching at this time of year.
Good luck in the contest!

Thanks for the double limerick poem. The topic is certainly timely, and it is an excellent contest entry. I always enjoy limericks and this one brought a smile to my face.
