A Turkey Day Poem for Common Cargo’s Annual Turkey Weblog
Yearly about this time
What I need to do is likely to be against the law
It’s not nasty giblets untucking
Or perhaps a bout of feather plucking
However one who seems fairly probably gags
‘Tis good at the present time readership lags
For who would give to this a view
If I might, I’d keep away from it too
However there’s an e-mail from my boss
Whom I’d somewhat not make cross
And whereas he ends it with a smiley
His quick sentence is kind of wily
“Can’t await my Turkey weblog =)”
Translation: Write, you lazy canine
Sure, that’s the font of Raymond whipping
Me to mix Turkey with delivery
Turkey the nation or Turkey the hen?
Each, although that will sound absurd
It’s no prank regardless of your misgiving
I do that each single Thanksgiving
Endure Thanksgiving torture, surprise how I can?
I’ve follow as a Detroit Lions fan
So these posts are actually my annual norm
Although annually’s weblog could change in kind
The final two years ’twas a Turkey quiz
Click on and see if you happen to’re a Turkey whiz
These clearly beat straight Turkey information
Which dominated Turkey blogs years previous
Okay, that wasn’t an ideal rhyme
I’ll get it proper within the subsequent line
Although now you could wish to abort
Earlier than you learn the phrase “export”
Too late, you learn it, right here we go
Equipment is Turkey’s high cargo
Now you recognize, regardless of comma splices,
Turkey’s high export ain’t Turkey spices
Sure, I do know it is senseless
Driving on this Turkey fence
Of speaking poultry then a nation
Risking reader alienation
How did this custom even begin?
It began cuz I wasn’t good
In selecting days for the weblog posting
And once I sort this I’m not boasting
Tuesdays and Thursdays with out fail
Okay, I missed just a few—don’t e-mail
I write a submit for UC’s weblog
Readers wait, I’m positive, agog
It will need to have been in dazed malaise
After I picked these two days
For I forgot that yearly
Thanksgiving’s on Thursday, pricey oh pricey
I’d take it off, however that first 12 months, see
I wasn’t pondering very clearly
Simply to make my L.A. hire
I set an terrible precedent
And wrote a weblog, positive nobody would learn
(For a Turkey delivery weblog there isn’t a want)
Nevertheless it one way or the other caught my boss’s eye
And have become his favourite—I don’t know why
So now it’s a convention like no different
That my household gained’t learn, not even my mom
Years later, the primary Turkey weblog is misplaced
However annually, my vacation, it does accost
My household begs me, “Let the Turkey weblog die
“Inform Ray you’re performed in an e-mail reply”
They beg cuz I made them take the Turkey weblog quiz
Er, I imply, cuz they wish to spend time with me, that’s
However now it seems I’m not so sore
As I’ve been on Thanksgiving the years earlier than
On the completion of this chore
Why does my spirit now instantly soar?
As a result of I’m finishing the Turkey weblog the night time earlier than
From all of us right here at Common Cargo, have a Pleased Turkey Day!
