36. Chicken on a boat

He wasn’t going out like that

Too many he knew had their neck snapped

Their head cut off, feathers plucked

Feet hacked and detached.

So he planned his escape

Before the morning came

And the others were awake

He started his attempt to scale the gate.

When he managed to get free

He headed east to the sea

Stayed there watching the sailors

Tie their vessels to the piers beams.

And when all was clear on the coast

He hoped on to a boat

And sailed off into the distance

Lucky chicken. He could have been a roast
