Limerick Ode To Thanksgiving
I can’t let Thanksgiving go by without writing a limerick. Or maybe I can. On the other hand, I’m pretty sure it’s my duty as an American citizen to post this while there’s still time to save yourselves:
Limerick Ode To Thanksgiving
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Whatever you’re planning to eat
This Thanksgiving, I hope it’s a treat.
Whether stuffing and turkey
Or something more quirky,
Here’s hoping it doesn’t repeat.

I’m thankful for those with concern
For my gas and occasional heartburn
I’ll remember your caring
While finishing the herring
And hope that my stomach doesn’t turn.
But leaves you replete.
Centerpiece
“So glad that unclad I’m reliving,
My woe in tableaux unforgiving,
In feathery splendor,
The racial offender.”
So said Mr. Red on Thanksgiving.
I’ve got gravy all over my nose
I’m so stuffed I’ve stripped off my clothes
“What, you’re naked? And why?”
So I can dive into the pie
Utensils are for the non-pros.
Thanks for your limericks, Doug and Peter!
