a turkey with a great personality
a great gaggle of gobblers passed by
magnificent fowl, but I’m not gonna lie
I’ve heard they’re quite snuggly
it’s a shame they’re so ugly
a feast for beasts of prey, not for the eyes

When humor is a glimmer.
They say that humor is the best medicine. The limerick fits that bill perfectly I’d say…though I’m quite a novice at this form. My inspiration came from a gaggle of turkeys who happened by my window. A huge flock of them! They are magnificent birds, with delightful personalities and amusing banter. I always know when they are close by, announced by their cheerful gobble, gobble, gobble. And when they all take flight, they are a sight to behold with wide powerful wingspans.
But here’s the thing…
From behind their full plumage is beautiful, impressive. Then they lift their heads and look your way!!! Oh my! Poor creatures, they are quite homely. The face only a true turkey aficionado could love…and yep, that would be me. I love our resident turkey clan! 😊 Isn’t nature amazing!
Peace, Love, and Chuckling Glimmers to You!

Absolutely…in fact in researching turkeys I learned that the entire gaggle is very much a family unit…chicks staying close to their mums for a year. They are very social and protective of one another. Truly a noble fowl! 😃

Probably the latter due to cutbacks!
