Cross-Eyed Chickens

There's nothing funnier than cross-eyed chickens With legs the size of your arm Kentucky Fried Chicken would sure love to know The name of this progressive farm Aside from the unnerving cross-eyed feature The implications are immense Imagine a leg on your plate so big You wouldn't know where to commence The cross-eyed feature might cause some concern If the patrons viewed this poor bird Before it was rendered suitable for your gullet It sure looked totally absurd The cross eyes were caused by trying to eject A super sized extra large egg Probably gave the poor bird a hernia Before passing for mercy it begged Such is the way of us civilized humans Always thinking of our bellies all day Paying no attention to these cross-eyed chickens Just trying not to end up on our plate ©Jack Ellison 2012
