There’s a gent hereabouts
Good at all things electrical
His real first name is forgotten
So we call him Sparky Dill

Surely his father was a Kosher
And not a little Gherkin
His mom was probably bread and butter
(I hope this rhyme is workin!)

I hope you don’t misunderstand
Sparky’s folks weren’t pickled
Maybe just a little preserved
With that last name they couldn’t be tickled

So as you sit down to a feast this year
As each plate passes for refills
Eat wisely from the relish tray and
remember Sparky’s family the Dills

Thanksgiving brings out the best in you

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Just wondering if they're any relation to Cranberry Sauce.  Guess there are a few other sauces, too.  This is too cute.

  Happy Thanksgiving,

I process and set up application interviews and we got an app from an electrician named Sparky Dill. Truth!

I love dill pickles, so your poem touched a nerve. With Thanksgiving upon us, now I'm in the mood for Turkey and all the fixings, including a good dill pickle.

I'll think about Sparky Dill next time I partake.

You made me smile
and I'll be thinking of you
next time I reach for that dill.
