Broadways Chicken Play

You all must read Sara Kendrick’s poem the “Chicken” before reading this one!!!! Thanks Sara for giving me such a great idea!!!!! Broadways.... "Chicken Play" The stage was dimly lit For the opening of this play The crowd was clucking in anticipation They had no idea A love story A drama A play of philosophy The writer used a feather quill Was this not a hint? The main actress, was a real bird she was She strutted and strolled The audience was captivated Her allure was on display Her beauty hid she was heartless hen Out jumped the Kernel Saunders!!!! Sword in one hand 13 secret spices in the other Well, this birds suitors ran to her defense To no avail at all These buccaneers would end up in a bucket I do not lie It included the fries Sadly parts where tosses to and fro Necks and wings and breasts were sliced It sure was not a pretty sight A civil war this was not The dame was slaughtered on a southern shore Let this me a lesson to you all you gizards While the chickens are away It’s for sure This silly poet will play!!

As the old chicken adage states: "life clucks and then you fry."

Enjoyed your play off of my chicken poem..I got a chuckle..It is the sad plight of many birds to have an ill fated life..Makes me want to slip into the pens and free them all but then I do like chicken..I might go vegetarian..Thanks for dropping by..Sara

Having read Sara's poem I am ready to comment, dear Arthur, you hit the nail on the head! Captivating, funny and didactic! Enjoyed the whole concept of it!

I was ready for some lesson, Arthur! I can see the chicken dancing on some stage - skidding around lol. Maybe there is a lesson in there after all - hoopla
