The Five Minute Friday prompt this week is TURKEY.
Barb was sick today, so instead of hunting down TURKEY quotes, I wrote a sonnet instead. I know, I promised quotes...and no poems.
Also trashed one eye, and it is kinda hard to be reading a screen.
I won't have a turkey cooking,
eating critters don't go here.
Rather for my meal we're looking
at a pizza and some beer,
and somewhere there is a turkey
who will trot all wild and free.
He wasn't shipped to Albuquerque
to make a Pilgrim meal for me.
I am sick of all the killing
that makes this fallen world go 'round,
so I really am quite willing
to eat soybeans by the pound
and maybe to fulfill my goal
to save a little of my soul.
So...have a fun freewrite about the bird, the dinner, the country, or my particular favourite, the Grumm TBF Avenger torpedo bomber...also known as, wait for it...the Turkey.
The video below shows a TBM (General Motors' license-built version) going through engine start, wing unfolding (a little over halfway through the three-minute video) and takeoff).
Sylvia will gladly eat whatever leftover turkey Barb brings home from the church luncheon.
Oh yikes! I will be praying for Barb and that your eye gets better. I like your sonnets and I hope you have a good weekend!
