Premium Member Chicken

Cracker Barrel always does chicken just right.
How would you like yours prepared tonight?
I’ll have mine grilled, with steamed broccoli,
Cornbread (buttered), slaw, and sweet tea.
Kids are enjoying their nuggets and onion rings.
Ever tried their pot pies or chicken and dumplings?
Never doubt the appeal of chicken. Have some wings!

Premium Member Bowling Competition

There was bowling
Competition this early morn
All eight lanes were
In use, competitors worn

The games were tied
The competition tense
One lane after another
Were the pins all hit

Occasionally there would be a break
When the racker slacked at his job 
Then all pins would be hit
Really, really hard

Rocky being terrified by all the noise
Jumps into my lap wanting peace restored
No way can he understand
There are some things only God can control
