Chickens Commit Suicide Daily
Chickens run out in front of my car daily. Trying to be killed.
Yes, I am always putting the flag on my car at half-mast.
They are free range, and they are fast. They are also dumb.
I do the best I can to not run over them. But they are fast.
They live with the farmer behind the fence, over the hill.
I do not know him, but I do not think he wants to know me.
They live with goats, and a horse, and a couple of bunnies.
The one I ran over today makes number forty-three.
