OUR TURKEY DAY WAS BAD

Contributed by lovingcritters on Friday, 25th November 2005 @ 02:27:12 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems





OUR TURKEY DAY WAS BAD

Tom Turkey was stuffed with love and care,
Warm, cozy--oven tucked, feeling no despair
We mortals slept soundly, me in my cap.
Silent and secure a slumbering winter's nap.

Sitting quietly upon the high kitchen counter
Pumpkin pie, homemade rolls, all under cover,
I awoke suddenly and sprang from a warm bed
Away to the oven I flew with much dread!

All night Tom's in the oven to bake very slowly.
I tore open the oven and what should appear?



'Twas Tom Turkey with his tanned tummy!
And when I turned him over everything was
brown, even his rear!



Piedy the bird was the first to arrive.........
Hoping against hope his Uncle Tom Turkey
was still alive,



In ran the critters, to see what was the matter?
They were all hungry and caused much clatter
The moon had disappeared from the breast of
my newly raked yard,
Montie's still sleeping, as we sighed with relief
Tom is not charred!



Then the weird sound, was so scary, Toastie hid under
the oven door!
I realized it was Piedy Bird stuck in the drawer....



Montie, Montie hurry come quickly please!!!!
Piedy's tail is caught even though he's lively
and quick.......
He won't let me touch him, Montie, he knows
I roast birds with ease.....
Montie, wake up--come like a flash
I'm heartsick!"



"His tail is stuck Montie, what should we do?"
We both heard him whistle and shout and call out
a name or two.



He twisted, and turned, with his rear out of gear,
His eyes how they twinkled, his little cheeks
orange with fear.
His droll little beak was drawn up like a bow.
We tried everything to dislodge his long tail
it was stuck like Velcro



And then in a twinkling I saw him appear,
Without a tail, but chubby and plump,
still in good cheer.
We laughed when we saw him, in spite of his loss
A wink of his eye and twist of his head
freed from such chaos.

He spoke not a word, but flew straight to his nest
All he lost was his tail, he felt rather blessed.
Where's the critters? and Piedy's Uncle?
They're not in the house, we'd better hustle.



There on the patio we found Tom Turkey's remains
In all the excitement we'd forgotten the critters restrains.
While we were rescuing one bird the other was being
eaten
But please don't be downhearted, for this whole
little story is all fiction!

Our Turkey day was not Bad,
It was the best one we've ever had!

This might just be me but that was kind of strangely disturbing(kind of). I'm glad that didn't actually happen =). Please make a comment on this 13 year old girl's poems. Oh and about your poem "HOMELESS", did that actually happen? If it did I am so sorry and I pray for you. Please update that soon cuz I'm really not one of the people who can be kept in suspense for long... so yeah that's about all I can say so I guess I'll look for more of your poems l8er cuz it's 2:43 a.m.
Talk to ya l8er,
Kunoichi Minammo
