Thanksgiving Chicken


Who has heard about the thanksgiving chicken?
Who in the shining sun his feathers browned.
Fresh corn made the young chicken grow and thicken.
And as a turkey the chicken soon was crowned.
Learning the mistake caused chicken to sicken.
Panicked chicken flapped, hearing a gunshot sound
But his fat chicken bulk soon lost him his breath.
He cursed every person and fell to his death.
 
Who has heard about the thanksgiving  chicken? 
Who, mistaken for a turkey, was browned.
Unexpected taste caused many to sicken
As soon as they realized what they had downed,
It scared their thoughts and their heartbeats to quicken. 
The people let out the most unpleasant sound.
Soon every chicken-eater was out of breath,
And every last one choked to their fateful death.
