The Cursed Turkey

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 wonderful poem about a tragic event happening during a holiday time. sorry it took so long to review too!

[Poetic Beauty]

I had forgotten about this one. It is good for a laugh.

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.

Wow I can see this developing into a great children's story. It just sounds so much fun to read, plz write a story about it lol
Great poem. :D

[Crowley]

Reminds me of the scene from Christmas Story...lol. That would just suck, next stop Chinese restraunt and Fa ra ra ra ra's. Funny stuff.

[Frifthor (D^2)]

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.

If that had been my grandmother turkey that dog would not have lived to see another thanksgiving even the cats knew better than to cross grammas’ path. Lol, Good job well done.

Great fun in this write...

[Undying Glory]

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

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!!
