Chicken
By Batsheva 8/18/10
Don't be a chicken!
People say
When someone is frightened
And running away
But what does being scared
Have to do
With that delicious bird
We love to chew?
You can eat them roasted
You can eat them fried
You can eat them stewed
Or even pot-pied
Eat chicken soup or chicken wings
As a snack or as a meal
Almost anyone will eat them. . .
Wonder how that makes them feel. . . .
Why are frightened folk called "chicken"?
Now, don't you think it's true
That if you were a chicken
You'd feel like running too?

I don't think chickens have the range of emotions that humans do. Instinctively they know predators are out there, but I doubt they get depressed over it.
