Chicken

Washing the chicken
Going to put her in the pot
Taking a bow for she is the star

Until the family comes in
And lifts the lid
Then she'll hear, "Boiled chicken is that all there is?".


(Washing a whole chicken in the sink and my hand slipped.  The pose the chicken made with 
her leg tucked looked like a bow.)
