The peacock is heartbroken
He joins the turkeys
Because the chickens are just
Colorless walking feathers.

I Love Crickets

I love wisdom of crickets.
they sing,
and dance,
only in absence of chickens.
Humans sing and dance 
to please even their grave diggers.

Mary rushed out of bed.
She loved to feed the chickens most.
She'd collect all their eggs.

Bells ring

Zen loving chimes,
Our exquisite times,
Spring chickens reborn,
"Still awake?" We yawn.
Basically harmless, you see,
Dreams are fantasy.

Headless

How I crave to tease these
Cocks with a one tract mind
Like headless chickens 
Blind and deaf to common sense
Clueless, mindless, and pathetic.

Premium Member Chickens

chickens are not pets
and should not enter house
mother's knife is near

canned chicken is best
raising chickens became norm
juicy tender meat

Premium Member Caution To My Friends

A spider a day keeps the warthogs away
There is a secret to the way they must be eaten though
Don’t want to try it?
Too bad
Warthogs eat chickens.

I still recall how I once felt,
a young boy, as I knelt.
There were pigs, cows, and chickens.
I laughed like the dickens
before a board of felt.

the bister chickens gone

Eggs Please

No eggs again! This is complete rot,
so put my chickens upon the spot. 
I warned them today,
get back on the lay,
or you’ll lay with veggies in a pot.

Her animals

She sees a pony in her room,
with biker chickens roaring by,
a goldfish on a witch's broom,
a pig, a cat about to fly...
'Ah, yes, I see 'em too, 'I lie.

Orange Chickens

Bright colored lights
Shining 
Off of your eyes

Reflecting your soul 
Showing a black,
Sad hole 

Where is your heart?
Why is mine 
Now torn apart.

A Bingo New Years

It stumbled in from the bingo hall
And fell asleep in an old barn stall
With eggnog on its breath
It scared the chickens to death
Ofcourse I mean my mother-in-law
