Turkey day Haiku chain...with gravy please

Ganesha · Oct 27, 2006

from the field I watch
wild turkeys roam and graze
appetite wetted

Haggis · Oct 27, 2006

From the couch I smell
Turkey, stuffing, apple pie
drool drips on my shirt

Dee · Oct 27, 2006

Drool drips on my shirt
Followed by cranberry sauce
How sloppy I am

Haggis · Oct 27, 2006

How sloppy I am
Gravy stains on my new shirt
Pass the stuffing, please

Forgot the rules in my earlier post. :Shrug:

Dee · Oct 28, 2006

Pass the stuffing, please
It's my favorite, you know
My mom makes it best

Ganesha · Oct 29, 2006

must get up and stuff the bird
bake some bread and pies

Jayne · Oct 30, 2006

and cook tofurky for me
served up with green beans

Haggis · Oct 30, 2006

Served up with green beans
tofurky tastes like cardboard
Gimme the real thing

eta: Welcome, Jayne.

veinglory · Oct 30, 2006

Gimme the real thing
A day we can all gobble--
even the turkey

Jayne · Oct 30, 2006

even the turkey
has a stuffed painful stomach
from eating too much

Thanks, Haggis.

Ganesha · Oct 30, 2006

from eating too much
I lay like a beached whale: wait
listen to the wind

poetinahat · Oct 30, 2006

(what a sound!)

listen to the wind
no thanksgiving overseas

Gunpowder Nash · Oct 31, 2006

still, I remember
sitting at the "kids table"

Dee · Oct 31, 2006

Cousin, pass the corn
And the taters and green beans
Yummy, yummy---BURP

Gunpowder Nash · Nov 1, 2006

yummy, yummy ---burp
did I think to save some room
for a slice of pie

Kate Thornton · Nov 1, 2006

for a slice of pie
i'd give my dream of size six
a fourteen is fine

Ganesha · Nov 1, 2006

a fourteen is fine
I trot out the turkey, he
looks uneasy to trim

ddgryphon · Nov 4, 2006

looks uneasy to trim
basted brown, stuffing around:
add the cranberries.

Ganesha · Nov 5, 2006

add the cranberries
subtract the jingle-berries
have a holiday

Kate Thornton · Nov 6, 2006

have a holiday
even if you don't much feel
like eating turkey

Haggis · Nov 6, 2006

Like, eating turkey
Is awesome, know what I mean
Know what I'm sayin'

dahmnait · Nov 6, 2006
