Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

A Tasty People Fricassee

If chickens learned to carry knives
     Just think, when dinner time arrives
We’d be in for a big surprise
With no more fried breast, leg or thighs

They’d turn the tables, we might be
 A tasty “People Fricassee”
      Fried elbows may be what’s in store
For chicken’s menu “Dish Du Jour” 

And if a cow could pack a gun
                 We’d be a burger on the run
If pigs condone this twist of fate
What might be on their dinner plate!

Though I love me, some chicken wings 
I may consider other things
                And hope as I begin to chew
I don’t turn up in mushroom stew!

Shirley Hawkins October 26, 2021 at 6:27 PM I Like this poem very much... It makes us meat eaters feel like murderers. I think veg may take preference for me in future. With the price of meat at the moment this would not be difficult. Thank you,Mike For this funny, thought provoking poem... Keep your elbows well covered... Mike Gentile October 26, 2021 at 7:11 PM Shirley, I am so glad you liked it! Thanks much!!!

Tom Cunningham October 26, 2021 at 11:26 AM Who is to say that us humans will always be the dominant species, remember planet of the apes lol. Tom Mike Gentile October 26, 2021 at 1:29 PM Yes, indeed I do Tom, thanks!

L Milton Hankins October 26, 2021 at 9:36 AM Truly delightful writing, Mike. Chicken isn't a favorite for me, except if southern-style country fried. Then, a leg and a wing will do. Again, really enjoyed your foray into the culinary arts! Mike Gentile October 26, 2021 at 9:42 AM Thanks Milton! Happy Tuesday!!
