Faleshia Murphy Poet Rhyme

Poor Chicken

Why did the chicken cross the road
He was trying to make a run for his life
Why did the chicken cross the road
To get away from the fork and the knife
Why did the chicken cross the road
He didn't want to be between white wheat or rye
Why did the chicken cross the road
He didn't want to bake broil or fry

Why did the chicken cross the road
He didn't want to be the next one eaten
Why did the chicken cross the road
Poor chicken couldn't watch his eggs be beaten
why did the chicken cross the road
Because the poor chicken couldn't fly
Why did the chicken cross the road
Because he knew one way or another he was going to die

Caryl Muzzey March 24, 2010 at 9:43 AM I enjoyed the read very much. It reminds me of the pet chicken I once had as a child. Woke one morning and she was nowhere to be found. To this day I'm not fond of eating chicken. Great write! Caryl

Ralph Taylor March 14, 2010 at 5:22 PM Quite an education for me Faleshia. I always thought the only answer was "to get to the other side". Thanks for the info. I feel enlightened. Ha Ha Have a good one - Ralph.
