There was a small turkey named Fred
who sat wrapped in plastic, quite dead,
in the market where I searched for ice cream'
butter pecan and Swiss almond chocolate
hadn't come in, the propeller head said,
so I cooked up old Fred instead.

(giggles) Awwwwww, poor Fred! (smiles) Though I don't like sad endings as I am a wimp and get sentimental to them, I loved this and wish you and all your loved ones the happiest Thanksgiving ever, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Icebox, thank you for sharing!


  

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I'm lactose intollerant
so if Fred is dead
might as well eat him
instead! *smile*

When I'm in the mood for icecream, Fred won't do. But I like the poem-your writing will do anytime.

I have only read a few of your posts as I am
new to the site but this one made me hungary
for chocolate ice cream and smile! :-)
I think I'd rather eat Fred
dead than alive
so Happy Thanksgiving
and all that jive!
You are a man of many talents. ;-)
