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

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
