who became solidly convinced

that he was a chicken

 

He got under the table

and scratched the floor for food

the dog scared him

the cat scared him

(which he outweighed 15 times)

 

This went on for many years

the shrinks came

and despairing went

the wife got fed up and left

the kids grew up and were ashamed

to have a chicken for a dad

 

He wound up in a VA mental hospital

in the Hopeless Case Ward

spent his time under the bed

scratching for the corn

certain fun-loving nurses

tossed him every day.

 

He would have ended his life this way

pecking and clucking

straining to lay at least one egg

if a kidney stone hadn't lodged

in his works one day

 

And sent him a pain

that seized him

gripped him like a giant

like the strongest man in the world

and shook

and shook

and shook

every grain of silliness out

and he cried:

please, please, please

was he a transexual?

 

or just a wee bit gay?

 

he should have thought he was a rooster.

 

would have saved him the pain of trying to lay an egg.

 

but that kidney stone passing would still have been a pisser!

 

better had he remained pecking and crowing (or clucking if confused).

 

...at least he was getting free corn.

 

:-)

 

..b b.b.

I guess..except for the free corn.

 

i've squawked plenty about that in my day, and in my way.

 

i guess i should have just clucked...or clicked..or clacked.

 

maybe none of the dumb clucks with the free corn heard my squawking.

 

cock-a-doodle-doo!

 

went the crow of the cock..

 

or is that the cock of the crow

 

oh...no..no!

 

baba shouldn't say that.

 

bad thoughts might occur for some from that.

 

and bobji never intends to offend.

 

especially not in such a 'difficult environment' tom.

 

say..isn't there a type of turkey called a..

 

let's just leave that at we're a lot alike me and you...

 

and the man who mistook his self for a chicken.

 

 

..b b.b.
