Description


Helanker's post yesterday [Kattegat sunset in April] had a little reference to chickens which reminded me of this little piece I wrote some time ago ... It's based on the saying, "All your chickens have come home to roost" or, in other words, your previous misjudgements and misdeeds have come back to haunt you .... [Truly, dear Helle, I really like chickens, honestly!] CHICKENS HOME TO ROOST Any more? I need to know - are there really any more cloddish cluckers strutting, circling around me-ward? Enough, Do you hear? You lousy lizard-legged harbingers of doom filling my overburdened life beyond the brim. But why? Tell me this - did I display directing wayside words? Did I point them arrow-straight at me? And why chickens? why not hawks? At least then I could admire their dignity and fierce grace. Or peacocks with ravishing rainbows in a foreplay finesse of fine feathers. Or nightingales with songs to wring wistful tears and ecstatic smiles? Anything! any bird but piddling peck-peck-peckers drab, timid and hoarse. Now look! Heed me now - you've pest-plagued my paltry living space, outstayed your welcome - so cluck off! Hear this, and hear it hard and good: the next fat fowl to foul my floor is frigging fricassee.

A poem that for the most part, made me think about reaping what we sow. ( How else would we learn to be responsible for our actions)? But at the end of your poem, it made me laugh and laugh! A very fine writing and even though I think chickens are basically ugly, I really like the piece of art! Lea

Ahh, if only we could eat our misdeeds and misjudgments for dinner, and make them disappear! One never knows when a chicken is going to come around ... Wonderful writing as usual, my friend!
