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?
