Having popped her morning free range
No egg on her face...

Constantly aware that I should change
Be more normal, a little less strange
An authentic mind
To myself be kind
Just accept the fact that I'm free range...

A farmer who was looking for change
Produced limericks that were free-range
He achieved great success
His limericks were best
And gluten-free -isn't that strange?...

Freed a dozen hens today
 For a week or so
 $2 (additional) the price of freedom
 On the supermarket shelves
 Even though I may pontentially
 Have stolen all their children...

(to be read to the tune of Papa was a rolling stone)


Papa was a rolling egg
Wherever he laid a hen chicks were made
And when he flied-
The coop you know was left undone....

Free Range


                   We all love the thought
                   no fences against the wolves
               the sheep are frantic

Those chickens commit harra-kiri daily said Nan
Of free-range livestock with beaks, she was not a great fan
How do they do it? Asked her cousin curious Scar
Easy; they run out in the road, in front of my car...

Where no ponies free ranged, I dreamt to break and wrangle paints.
            Where ponies bent, broke and bridled, I dreamt to hang away my spurs.
                 Where no ponies free range, I have no spurs and wrangle paints....

Chickens are funny 
In so many ways
Barnyard clowns for sure
Pecking and clucking
Fighting over feed

Some are road kill
Suicidal
Kamikaze
Free range chickens

White feathers
Golden beaks
Staring eyes

Barnyard
Cackling
Magic

Chicks...

We are blighted wards
Sordid, trepidatious scars
Haven's wall too darkly far
Eden's thornbush guards
Caught behind our safety bars
Still, we count the free range stars

I’m just a free-range wino on the lam,
A low-rent resident of any circus tent 
Accepts me as the reprobate I am.
I don’t speak Texan and I don’t intend to,
But I’ll pretend to be a rodeo clown.
I’ve got a box of bad intentions.
Gonna drink that vino down.
In vino veritas....

There was once a gal named Sally Sue
    who liked to swim wearing just two red shoes
             folk thought it was strange 
               she said it’s free-range
      Her red shoes vanished, she’s  sad and blue

They wander, 
free range sheep,
Following a breeze,
a wafting scent
Clover…perhaps
More likely the innate call
To roam
In search of themselves.
Freedom,
a dubious destination
As jagged cliffs
O’erlook the crushing surf
Escape 
An unknown dream
For wind and tide
And nature
Call them
Home.

Foxes ruffle feathers
 
Blame bunny for raid on hen house.

Bunny claims “Easter” privilege.

Rainbow coalition boycotts eggs.

Media scrambles to cover story.

Free range chickens running amok.

Roosters union demands investigation.

Search party to assemble at daybreak.

Le Cordon Bleu sommelier in the know
Discussed wine pairing with patrons aglow
"What does your order include?"
"Roast turducken frankenfood"
"Then I recommend a dry Portmanteau!"

The Meat Locker 

The largest ice freezer of free-range Texan 
long-horns where mice wore fur to survive
broke down, the carcasses began rotting
thrown into the bay.
The day after, sharks came to the surface
throwing up, turning the water foamy 
For anglers, it was a bonus they caught 
big marlins and red snappers

Here is a magic chicken,
you can almost taste it
if you use chicken stock,
but if you do,
your internal organs
will eventually be Saran wrapped
as free-range produce
for pets, or the modified minded,
only,
you were never really 'free-range'
if you had been,
a humane hunter
might have harvested you,
knowing that the law of
mass consumption
is:
"First do no harm."...

growing up
we now have
a son who is
compared to
a free range
chicken

he is muscular
skateboarding
cycling around
and karate but
he did go off the
grid and without

cooping up 
or telling what
was thought
to be our fence
he took German
in defense and

attacked with
tacking a flank
blitzkrieg upon
his wall and last
of all he knew to
let his hair grow
