“Why did the chicken cross the road?
Because he knew you would feed him.”
My Nasty Spouse
I was walking home after searching for another stray
When a wily critter ran across the road towards me
He was feathered and white with huge black feet
Was this purely a chance meeting or my destiny?
I soon stopped in my tracks, and I waited for him
He rushed up to me, as if we were long lost friends
Oddly enough, he now began pecking at my pockets
I immediately began smiling and howling without end
How had this clever bird known I always carried nuts and seeds
He must have been spying on me, when I tossed them to squirrels
I now took some out, offered them to him, and he ate very hungrily
As a squad car now raced up, and the officer’s taunts were unfurled
“Hey, Buddy! Is that your chicken that you’re illegally prancing all around?
We’ve gotten numerous calls about a deranged bird terrorizing the citizens!”
I couldn’t help but laugh as I said “Officer, I have never met this bird before!”
And soon, we both began laughing, as this wily chicken clucked without end
He and I, and a third police officer, who had very quickly arrived at the scene
Soon began ringing doorbells, and asking residents, if their chicken had escaped
After a very long time, an embarrassed man finally admitted, it was his daughter’s
The chicken returned home, the officers left, and I now had another story to relate
“Why did the chicken cross the road?
Because he knew you were an easy mark!”
