Hey, Jake, hi. Thank you for the great review and stars, friend. Sure, you can use this. I'll send it when I get the chance. I'm busy over the weekend but I'll get it to you. I'm glad you liked this silliness. Have a good one, friend.

yes include your bio and links

I don't have much of a bio and all I have for links are facebook that I never use and an email that's about equally as useful. Lol. I'm not too up on all the social media stuff. I drive a truck at night and I'm headed to bed now. Give me a holler tomorrow morning and I'll see what I can give you. My life's pretty simple. Work at night and play around on here in my spare time once in a while. That's about it. Remind me in the morning. I'm in Tampa Fl and on EST. By 2PM tomorrow, I'll be heading to bed again. Gab with you tomorrow, Jake.

Comment from Dawn Munro
Contestant,
You're killin' me if not ol' Tom,
and that's no lie, although I'm calm...
Tom turkey doesn't care if you
are stuck with soup, and feeling blue.
Give thanks, he didn't steal your axe,
and only kicked you in your slacks,
'cuz you had planned to celebrate
with poor, ol' Tom upon your plate. :))
LOL!!! Best of luck in the contest -- here's my last six for your outrageously funny poem.

The author's words made me smile a lot! I enjoyed this poem and found
the humor to be engaging. The poem flows and connects well. The artwork is awesome - what a proud turkey - he won!
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!....Maria

Thank you for the great review, Maria. We're actually going to do Thanksgiving tomorrow. I had to work that day. I'm sure it's going to be awesome. Lol. I appreciate the generous stars. I'm glad you liked this silliness.

Hahahaha! Loved it! First, I loved the artwork you chose for this awesome poem. I enjoyed every line of this poem. It was very well written, and rhymed, with great rhythm and humor. Great job!

Thank you so much for the great review and giant sixer, Amahra. When I came across this picture I just had to use it. Lol. I really appreciate the gracious stars. I'm glad you had a chuckle at this silly piece.
Comment from dragonpoet
This is a witty poem. It shows how much someone can fight back if given the chance. This is why most people just buy their turkeys at the store and don't try to kill. And if I were to kill a turkey it would be a female.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest

Hahahaha. I guess Tommy Turkey showed you! Maybe next year. In the meantime, enjoy your Ramen Noodle Soup. This is well written with good meter and rhyme. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Sherry SG
Excellent rhyme, meter and humor, self-deprecating at that !
It was so enjoyable to read this amusing piece. You're really gifted.
I felt some of the punctuation and capitalization needs editing for better formatting and reading for eg. a comma after "speed" ,"down" and "face" etc. "My arms" capitalization not needed.
Also, I'd prefer to use a word like "rear" or "butt" instead of "ass" in keeping with the tone of the poem because this is an otherwise flawless poem.

Thank you so much for the kind review, Sherry. I really appreciate the generous stars and suggestions. I'll give them some thought. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Have yourself a wonderful weekend.
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Tough Turkey, is a funny accounting of that ailed attempt to bring the turkey to the dinner table. Ramen might well be the new alternative to holiday dinner. Fun write.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
Fun and as humorous as Thanksgiving poems go. This is the way of the world when Tom Turkey gets his way with not being killed or eaten. I love the rhymes especially recoup and soup. These are imaginative and create a visual of you fawning to be ill and eating Ramen's swill. I hope you win the contest for sheer ingenuity.

Thank you for the great review, Jesse. I haven't heard anyone use the word swill in a long time. Lol. That was hilarious. I really appreciate the generous stars and good luck wishes, friend. I'm glad you liked this silly piece.

Yes, swill is an old-fashioned phrase. I don't remember where I picked it up.
Good luck with the contest, and have a great weekend.

Comment from Celyn
This is an amusing poem which I love as the turkey won for once! The rhyming is good throughout and so is the rhythm which makes the poem read very well. It is great to read a Thanksgiving poem that isn't just about loads of things to eat for a change.
Good luck with it

Thank you for the great review, Celyn. Yes, too many Thanksgiving pieces all sound the same so I had to go a different route. Lol. I appreciate the stars and good luck wishes. I'm glad you liked this silliness.
