Okay a little setup before you read my entry. Think "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" intro!

I was living on the farm and life wasn’t hard

til my new barnmate walked in and said “Allo batard!”

I said “bonjour mon ami, est-que tu parles francais?”

He replied “Non stupid, now get out of my place!”

At that point I felt quite hurt

I said, “Why so angry? Why do you care?”

He came back at me with a venomous stare!

Right just then the farmer walked in and he took the new chicken; I never saw him again.

Life went back to normal; I was livin’ by myself and I was thankful once again to not end up on that butcher’s shelf.

The chicken, it spent time a lay-ing,
Eggs it created with care,
My brother, just four,
Gathered two and then more,

He caused quite a ruckus,
Dropped them into the bucket,
Changed the menu to scrambled,
Right There!

Juicy jerk chicken
Sizzling over flaming coals
Snap, thought you were dead

Ok, this is dedicated to Stacey.

Not my best work, but I hope to at least garner a smirk:

Chicken, chicken, finger licken.
You wont be stricken, if you dig on the chicken.

Good to eat and it doesnt repeat.
Many ways to cook and few are such a feat.

Fry it , bake it, broil or grill.
Chicken, chicken, its quite the thrill.

Healthy and versatile, its speaks to your style.
Love it, live it, it is quite worthwhile.

Its good for you, and good for me.
Eat lots of chicken, and happy you will be.

Chicken

Let me count the ways
Roasted, bbq’ed and with fries
Breasts and thighs
Best of all a pitcher and ½ price wings on Mondays

Roasting chicken limbs
Gilt with lemon, salt and thyme
Rethink love of pork

I walked up to my ho and asked: “Yo, how’s trickin’?”
She looked at me and said: “Makin money thanks to chicken!”

“Thanks to chicken?” I asked, acting all surprised.
“Hells yeah bitch, that shit’s keeping me alive!
“It’s chock-full of protein and keeps me going,
“It’s got the energy I need to keep on blowin’!”

“What about your clients when they smell it on your breath?”
“I tell ‘em for the price of two, they’re getting four breasts!
Two of them are female, and two of them are fowl,
They get excited and get messy, so I throw them a towel.”

“Damn,” I exclaimed, “I can’t hardly believe it!
From now on chicken’s what all my ho’s be eatin’!”

The moral of the story, for those that don’t know,
If you want to make money, get some poultry for your ho.

You can never go wrong with a chicken as your friend
They are eggcellent at parties, always showing some leg and flocking to the dance floor.
They do things on the fly and really know how to wing it in a sticky situation.
They don't mind spending a "bawk" or two, especially if you go shopping at the Pottery "Barn."
Sometimes chicken can be a jerk, especially when it thinks it has all of it's eggs in one basket. But generally speaking, chicken is our friend, from the farm to the fridge, we love you!

A day without fowl
makes you growl

(Though of course)

Too much chicken
and you sicken
