Mike Gentile Poet Personification

The Chaste Chicken

Oh no, I can’t do it here!
     And my feathers are a mess!
Can’t a clucker have a little privacy?

I don’t know about the rest of you 
     but I can’t just pop out egg after egg
like I’m a plastic PEZ dispenser!
And certainly not in front of that pushy
     crower, Chanticleer.

Cock-a-doodle-doo, Cock-a-doodle-SHOO!

There’s not even enough straw in here
     to fashion a two-bit bedroom.
And the walls are crate paper thin!

     You’d think this was a hen party!
I haven’t heard this much cackling
     since the Chippendales came through!

No, changes WILL be made if they ever
     want to taste my omelet!
