I wrote this on Thanksgiving day, but, because I couldn't avail myself of turnkey services, I just got it posted. ;-)

Turnkey Day


I didn't have a turnkey day,
the turkey exploded on the way.

It must've been the stuffing,
had too much natural gas.

For when it blew up,
put me on my ass.

My guests were coming soon,
my mind was in disarray.

I had little to be thankful for,
on this Thanksgiving Day.

I asked Siri for some help,
and she answered right away.

Put me online with cleanup crews,
and they were on the way.

As for turkey with all the trimmings,
she got me that at a discount, too.

She threw in some T-day decorations,
and a complete Xmas display.

Everything arrived like clockwork,
my guests never had a clue.

They all remarked how nice it was,
even the Christmas trimmings, too.

Everyone left tipsy and happy as could be,
another turkey day over leaving just me.

If it hadn't been for turnkey services,
my day would've been a mess.

But thanks to turnkey services,
I made it over that awful hill.

No shopping frantically for Christmas,
Black Friday brought the turnkey bill!!!

...even unpleasant experiences...imaginative or not...become
part of good fun...when poem's words wrap themselves like
security blanket....around Siri's hassle free and plausible answer
for help...and her intellectual prowess shines...no wonder most
would be lost without...
Thank you Ron, for sharing your turn-key amusing story.

Funny and amusing poetic piece of work. I hung out with a bunch of turkeys and we got so hungry we finally ate one! The gas attacks came later and man is everyone lactose intolerant these daze?

Some folks will believe anything they read…

I would have believed it, especially if one of your guests had been old Matlack - he always has too much natural (or un-natural) gas!

Hey folks! From what I'm reading, I'm beginning to think that some of you think that this is true! It's total fiction! If anyone can find a YouTube of a exploding Turkey, I will put the link here so that your wishes can come true.

I wish there was a you tube video of that explosion. Leftovers always get cleaned up.
