Chicken Soup for the Tummy

[angliholic]

You're so yummy,
yet so empty is my tummy.
So I'd like to gobble you down
before we can sit down
and talk about our problem.

What can be our problem?
Perhaps, it is that you're a chicken,
deliciously stewed in the kitchen,
and I'm a hungry human being,
born to eat and to keep living.

But who can solve this silly enigma?
I don't have the slightest idea so far.
If we had our own free choice,
then I guess we would all rejoice
to be as free as the green tree.

You caught my interest with this one. It seems to me that the problem could be solved by becoming a vegetarian...

This poem has a huge problem. In stanza one you use the word gobble... but chickens don't gobble, turkeys do.




... Kidding. Entertaining to read.

This was entertaining to read Ang and a notable change of what you normally write. Well done.

Thanks, EA,for your concern about this problem.
Imagine there are no animals including human beings, and all the plant lives can think, feel, and love! What would this world be?

Thanks, JOH, for pointing out the problem. At first, I used "wolf down," but I'm a human being not a wolf.

I'm glad my scribble entertained you a bit!

Thanks, Misty 40, for the nice words as usual.
Try to write something different to hone my English!

Nice fun poem but the flow was ruined for me as I couldn't, mentally, get past this line:
"Perhaps, it is you're a chicken,"
I found it hard to read "it is you're a chicken" without alarm bells going off in my head. But neither the less, a quirky one.

As I'm not a native speaker, I can't feel the way you feel. So will it be better off to reword the line as

Perhaps, it is because you're a chicken
Perhaps, it is that you're a chicken
