Hah! So wish I had a six left! This is perfect!
And perfectly funny!

Love your 8/6/8/6 syllable count...your rhymes are pristine, the visuals really drew me in...

Top it off with a killer last line and...

Geez!

This could well be the winner!

I appreciated your sense of humour. We don't have Thanksgiving in Oz but we sure have turkey on Christmas Day. Well written, great subject and most enjoyable. You should win the contest!

    Thank you for the fantastic review, Aussie. I actually prefer ham over turkey but what can you do when they call it turkey day? Lol. I'm glad you liked this silly piece.

Oh my, I was really laughing so hard I was crying literally. Ramen noodle soup for Thanksgiving sealed the deal for me. You got it. It's funny, witty and uniquely different from all the other Thanksgiving Poetry available for review in this site. You deserved six stars for this. Thanks for sharing.

    Wow, thank you so much for the fantastic review and giant sixer, Zue. Yes, too many of these Thanksgiving writes all pretty well sound the same anymore. That's just not me. Lol. I really appreciate the gracious rating, Z. I'm glad you had a chuckle at this silliness. Have yourself a great day.

    Yeah, I had to get the Ramen Noodles in there. Lol. Thank you for the great review and huge sixer, Lynda. The GIF is actually what inspired this silliness. When I came across it, I just had to use it. I'm glad you had a chuckle at this, L. Have yourself a fantastic day and thank you again.

OMG...this is a funny Thanksgiving poem. The text is a great size. The message is hilarious. Each subsequent verse layers more antics and fun into the mix.
I have only two suggestions. Correct the spelling on these words. Unprepared and amongst are misspelled. Consider making the font an autumn/Thanksgiving color to make the text livelier like your descriptive verses. Good luck in the contest. I would vote for this poem. Your gif is funny too!

Don't you just love it? I was thinking of chicken noodle, not knowing what Ramon noodle soup is. This is a first class theme, great writing, smooth flow, a very humorous poem, a great entertainment,, beautifully written, good luck, blessings Roy

    Thank you for the great review, Roy. Ramon noodle soup is a a very cheap soup. Campbell's puts it to shame. Haha. I appreciate the generous stars and good luck wishes, friend. I'm glad you liked this silly piece.

This turkey poem will appeal to all ages. It tells a David vs. Goliath story that young readers will love.
Good description of the one-sided fight, especially stanzas 5 & 6.
Also well done are your 4/3/4/3 quatrains and your choice of rhymes.

This is very nice. It has humor and shows the underdog, the Turkey as the victor and the man as the loser. Your rhyme scheme is good and reading it was easy, without any misunderstandings.

A good Thanksgiving poetic story.
