I
Last week, funeral
You heard Nature reviled here
But Neem Tree gave life

II
This week, two new pets
Chicken Little, who comes in nights --
Angel, power-lady dog, outside...

I
Siblings stolen
Why list the nations ills ...
Bring Chicken Little home

II
Kuiken has cage during light
Twilight cheeps, louder -- plaintive --
Back in box, quietest baby...

Kuiken, five-week chicken little
cares little for half-brother
walks indoors all day

ii
Kuiken little looks, recalls
faces, responds to BABATJIE
when called, plus clicks (for chicks)...

Chicken Little

Did you know that Chicken Little was not a man but a woman?
She wanted to always to feel like a part of someone's finest fan
Her fully rounded rump
Sure kept mighty frump
Now Chicken Little might think she's a figment of a con-man.

It made sense the sky fell on Chicken Little
But Chicken Big doesn’t play second fiddle
So not to be beatin’
He just kept on eatin’
Until he doubled the size of his middle

Chicken Big’s now ready for his new calling
And this time it won’t be, just Little bawling
Coz the sky’s now ok
But the floor’s giving way
In fact Big is so big, the floor is falling...

I'm a nervous Nellie with good reasons you see.
 Many a time I've had the rug pulled out from under me..
There are quiet stretches where I attempt to heal and
everything is co-pathetic, at an even keel..
Abruptly the rains come down and it's never
just a spittle.
It's often like the sky is falling and I'm poor Chicken Little..
If I only knew my future I could tweak the plot, then I
could stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.....

Chicken Little Was Right


Perhaps we all need to light up a “fatty”,
ease into a comfortable couch and
wait for the brownies to bake.

Like “WOW” man I just fired up my
joint at the drinking fountain.  That
freaking fracking is playing games
with my head.

Hey Man, now that it’s legal will
my “health” insurance pay for me
to smoke?

Are those brownies ready yet?
