Turkey Sandwich Poem by Ruth Walters

Turkey Sandwich

Rating: 5.0

Miss Jeffries was cold,
like a dry, stale turkey sandwich.
She was always in a foul mood,
curling up at the edges.
She'd pick and prod and scream
for no reason,
similar to a crazed old fowl,
spiteful, sharp spurs,
and always ruling the roost.

Hello Belle, Miss Jeffries was real, however she was very pretty, blonde, blue eyes but fierce, therefore her beauty faded in my eyes as she scared me when I was a child.
