(I added some mood music. My playing is less than stellar; so, I hope it doesn't ruin your hearing :) )

Chicken Simile

Link to Audio.

There’s a dead chicken in my driveway.
Apparently rode in late last night.
Slumped over the handle bars like, well,
like a dead chicken.

Don’t know where Max is.
Dumb ass dog.
I swear I’m gonna chain his ass up.
I got a dead chicken in my driveway and
a lost dog.

Then Billy comes by.
Stood at the bottom of my stairs.
I poked my head through the screen door and
listened to him tell me about his dead chicken.
The one slumped over the handles bars of my motorcycle like, well,
like a dead chicken.

Billy’s a big boy.
Apparently raises chickens.
An epiphany – seeing as how Max had gone missing –
that made me slump my head like, well,
like a dead chicken.

So I got my dead chicken head slumped
barely through my screen door while
Billy stands at the bottom of my stairs
telling me how he ran my dumb ass dog Max -
with his tail slumped between his legs like, well,
like a dead chicken -
out of his chicken pen.

So Billy and I stick our chests out and
scratch a little while like, well,
like a couple of chickens.
Then I agree to keep Max – my dumb ass dog –
chained up, and
Billy agrees to have me over for
fried chicken and corn bread.

Then Billy walked off with that
chicken slumped over his shoulder like, well,
like a sack of potatoes, and
I crawled under the house like, well,
like a snake
to get Max – my dumb ass dog –
who was cowered in the crawl space like, well,
like a dead chicken.

Dumb ass dog.
