A Thanksgiving Haiku or Two

I call this collection "Odes to a Food Allergy."

the turkey divine
but why did somebody put
mushrooms in stuffing?

and

chop them way too small
`shrooms invisible to eye
make me Shiitake.

Of all the foods to be allergic to, it'd have to be something that can be disguised like an Eastern Bloc spy. Ugh... I practically starved during the portobella boom a few years ago.

And, just to add insult to injury, I attended a weddding Saturday where the fliet mignons were covered in a delightful steak sauce...made of mushrooms. A tell-tale bit of mushroom would have been enough to scare me away to the lemon caper salmon, but no bits of `shroom could be found.

I'm guessing I'd have been a bad Smurf.
