Notes About The Poem

Ty

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.
