  A Thanksgiving poem by my niece

Cooking Turkey

Busy, crazy, fast moving
Burning the turkey in the flames
Oh no! Look at the fire on it!
Burning Gobbler


Like my own poem "Post-Texas Expressive Heat" from Down Spooky, Kiki's diminutive jingle captures the je-ne-sais-quois re: my mother in her annual struggle with the bird.

Can't stop laughing.
