The Chicken Ballet

34 Comments

The big pot of stew was just brimming

With juices right after the skimming,

The drumsticks of chickens,

Said, “Oh, what the Dickens!

We’re doing our synchronized swimming.”

      Yes, I do feel sorry for any meat I eat, but since most humans are meat eaters, I allow myself not to think about it or it would drive me crazy. (Especially since I love birds and used to pet my chickens when I raised some … many years ago).

    This is hilarious. What’s keeping those drumsticks vertical? The veggies down in the pot? Or does the weight of their meatier ends keep them upright?
