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.)
