A Chickens Story

Sunshine and stormy weather,
From egg,to feather,

Grains until I am matured,
Off to the boilers for sure,
Cluck,cluck,cluck no more,
Chopped or bi-sect in four,

Leg,wing and thigh,
Jerk,bar-b-que or fry,

Brown stew or curry,
Get me ready in a hurry,

Natural seasoning or powder spice,
Finger licking,I am so nice,

Rice and peas or mashed potato,
Done at home or nicely catered.......

Lots of yummy options for your chicken! Yesterday I'd cooked jerked chicken, then made it in a stew with pumpkin, coconut milk, herbs/ spices, and vegetables. You and your family are fortunate to live in such a wonderful place! Mikki

What a cleaver and wonderful write Richard, I enjoyed the read. When I was a child, I had a pet chicken until something happened to her... Never liked eating chicken for a very long time. Sooner or later, time heals all wounds~ Caryl

Hi Richard, wow... I'm hungry all of a sudden... now i wonder, what a cows story would look like... You know what I like this idea.. Maybe you will allow me to use your idea one day for a contest... i can actually see poets having fun with their own stories... this is going straight to my favorites,, he he he... If you give me permission to use this in one of my contest..I would be honored... xox~ PD
