Thanksgiving Limericks

I participate in a puzzle board to keep my brain active.  recently they ran a quick contest for original Thanksgiving limericks.

I threw an entry together and it came in third!  Here are the top three entries.

Third place:

Thanksgiving’s the day one wishes That the turkey is truly delicious It takes a week To eat all but his beak In sandwiches, pies and soup dishes.

Second place (mine):

There once was a turkey still living, Who complained with a little misgiving, You take pride being Yanks, And you give the thanks, But we seem to do all the giving.

First place:

The turkey did not turn out fine. So I thought I would break out the wine. By dessert they were wasted From the wine that they tasted And they all thought the dinner divine.

Do you have a better one?
