The Law of Averages
for chickens on a scale from 1-10
is a six
that’s how many years they have
if left to live a normal life
roaming free on the range
but
if owned by a big corporation
chances are not only will their
goose get cooked
but their eggs will be
taken and sent to reform school
to fend for themselves
to become educated in the ways of the world
another irresponsible link in the food chain
So if you think
life has dealt you
a bad hand
consider the average chicken
A would be cackler
who comes from a broken home
because their mom split
she’s the extra crunchy breast at KFC
the hot wings at Hooters
the juicy thighs at Popeye’s
and she’s not coming back
EVER!
And she never did say
who your father was
For all you know
it’s that dude
who just got thrown out of
summer chicken stock
for ad-libbing badly on the To Be Or Not to Be soliloquy
and the only thing
the one thing
you have to hold on to
is a message
some crazy biker chick
who claims she’s your long-lost cousin Ginger
scratched in the dirt
when you were like three
and playing doctor
that scared the bejesus out of you
although you’re not exactly sure WHY
the message that still haunts you to this day
TODAY–on your 6th birthday
that said: “Pork is the other white meat?”
