Recipe for Pineapple Fried Duck

I'm a vegetarian, so I'm not sure why I'm writing insensitive poems like this.  

Take a pineapple and a duck.
One you chop and one you pluck.
Say a prayer that they had to die,
and throw them in the wok to fry.

haha, glad you liked it. I just realized I made a mistake in this recipe/poem. Should be "One you CHOP, one you pluck.", not "FRY". Anyway, next time you make the recipe, now you can do it correctly - lol.
