From the Lips of Chicken

From The Lips of Chicken Hear how a chicken weeps On its curved lips... There and then it quacks As its way it pecks From Farm to the Plot ‘Fore falling into a pot: “Apart from my racy feather “Dangling on my leather “Have I any other role “Except being eaten whole?!” JM 11th Oct’ 2013

Oh dear me poor chicken waiting for the pot.Hmmm isn't the chicken the most globally eaten meat? A very funny and humorous poem.

Hie Christine. Thanks for dropping by. Chicken, chicken, chicken; wings, feets, drum sticks and all and so man recipes too- Italian, Chinese, Cantonese etc. And vitamins for growth to quickly grease the pot! Your friend, JM

Clever. Clever and witty and just plain awesome. I love your use of words; your style is so unique; sometimes I find myself being jealous of your work, and when I am jealous, then I know it's an impressive piece. Kudos, my friend :)
