Chicken of Doom

Chicken of Doom


The line is lost in time
Ready to be called a crime
Solved like slime
In a little tin jar
But you don't know 
How far you have to run
You can't pun your way out of this one
The truth is told
Paths are clear
It shouldn't take
More than a year
Or a life
Deep cuts of a knife
Look at every useful body
Maybe then you'll see
There's no useful bits for free
Just trash
To be discarded
Broken-hearted
Bits of
Everything overlooked
And under-cooked
Like the chicken that was promised
But never delivered upon
So as anticipation
Pulls into the station
A hesitation fills the room
Can the chicken ever be done
Or was this life just doomed?
