In a chicken meat factory worked Ty Was in charge of maintenance and supply But he lost both hands Replacing blade bands And created a hands meat flavoured pie. The workers ran towards Ty with great haste His Boss worried that the meat would be waste Said roll out the pies Hope nobody dies And hope no one complains about the taste.
