The Chicken Instigator

All chickens here assembled, rise and fight.
It’s not enough the humans steal our eggs;
They cut our tender breasts, and that’s not right!
Stand tall upon your skinny chicken legs.

Stand tall and show them all you have some pluck
All chickens here assembled, rise and fight.
Tell all mankind that you don’t give a “cluck.”
Stop cowering like puppy dogs. Unite!

We’re raised unnaturally. Though plump and white,
We’re not all THAT; we’re caged and given grief!
All chickens here assembled, rise and fight.
We must convince mankind to turn to beef!

We’ve got to make them lustful for a steak;
to find the COW more healthful; see the light:
Say no to K. F. C or Shake ‘n Bake!
All chickens here assembled, rise and fight.

Congratualtions on your fifth pplace, Andrea! I find your poem very humorous. I have loved reading it... and I laughed at this funny line: We must convince mankind to turn to beef! Yes, these chickens will succeed in making the buyers lustful for a steak! Well- thought out and humorously written! May you have many more. Love and hugs, Andrew.
