I do not like turkey for thanksgiving or for ANYtime, so he is pretty safe with ME. Nicely done!

Good Limerick, Robert. Do you know what Tom said when he had seen the ax. Duck, duck, goose (lol) Long time, my friend. I hope all is well...Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Good one, Robert. Or, that you send me to the White House, where I will probably get pardoned!!!!
