Roasted Turkey
What a wonderful day it was.
Just to be crisping in the sun
Stomach stuffed, lightly based.
30°, layout five hours straight
When it was time to go home.
The English Turkey was well done.

A good fun tale about the stuffed Turkey as a metaphor.Well done made me laugh
Thank you
I got images with this one. Everyone looks for the fattest turkey to roast. (Where a roast is a dressing down of someone in celebration, usually with gathered group) Sounds like an American Thanksgiving to me. Well done Tobani
Thank you

Thank you for your feedback, have a wonderful weekend
Nice double entendre! Much enjoyed 🕊🙏🏻
Thank you, have a wonderful weekend
Most welcome
Roast, baby, roast. I see pictures of nutters in the UK and other northern hemisphere places wandering around without a hat in 40 degree plus heat.
A salutary warning.
Hooray!!!, someone got it, thank you, we are idiots when it comes to the sun, you can always spot an Englishman abroad.
A day at the beach, my friend? Exactly how I feel out in the sun. This American Turkey is right there with you! LOL!
Hope you don't fry like the English are determined to do, have a wonderful weekend
Oh. With much English, Irish, German, some Scottish, and Scandinavian...all I do is fry! LOL! I quite literally tan red! 🤣🥵
You're downright hilarious! I figured twas tongue-in-cheek. Nothing like a proper roasting, eh? Delightful. Charmingly rendered with excellent imagery and a deliciously haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing. [By the way, "Turkey" was my parents' pet name for yours truly.]
That's a very unusual pet name, thank you for your kind words, have a wonderful weekend
A great synonym.
Thank you, have a wonderful weekend
I have turkey once a year on our nationl Thanksgiving holiday, and now I have to wait until the third thursday in November to enjoy what you now have me craving. Great poem, I think I'll go raid the fridge!
Thank you, have a wonderful weekend
Fun write Tobani.

Thank you
So, Noel Coward was correct, "Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun..." A hot and crispy verse - hahaha!
All the best,
Tony.
Thank you, enjoy the rest of your day
That was good. Made me chuckle in this freak heatwave.
Thank you, enjoy the rest of your day
You said it all. Come December us Turkey's will be back in the Freezer.
Good one.
Thank you, enjoy the rest of your day
