An Anthropological Study of Chickens: Like Chicken Like Man

Gallus gallus domesticus, friend in times good and bad An animal which didn’t evolve well From dinosaur to clucking egg producer, isn’t that sad? Trapped inside its wire-based cell A hen brood fight; pecking order again Feathers flutter like a torn pillow Much like life for many women and men We cannot fly, but ideas can billow When the world ends, I’ll live in a coop Nothing can get in, except for the hungry fox It will be quite small, I might have to stoop I’ll be safer in there, except from chicken pox
