Cross-Eyed Chickens

There's nothing funnier than a cross-eyed chicken 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 old bird Before it was rendered suitable for your gullet It looked hilariously 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 it, for mercy it begged Such is the way of us civilized humans Thinking of our bellies all day Paying no attention to these cross-eyed chickens Trying not to end up on our plate © Jack Ellison 2014

Dragon LOVES chicken... But wants to know, if he eats them, Will he go cross eyed, too? And is his barbecue sauce is the cure? I told him it is simply to ease his mind. Tho if he gets snarky... I'lll suddenly run out of barbecue sauce and watch him squirm. I know! I know! I'm bad! But It's so funny to watch! Besides he flamed my favorite blue jeans! They say pay back's... Well you get the drift. Besides he fights me about getting his yearly shots. I'll tell him they'ill cure the problem... LOL

Jack, you have inspired me. After reading this, it was so good, I had to sit down and write 'Bob the Chicken'. I think you will enjoy. ;)
