27 Days Into the New Year

Tell me little chicken
What do you see
An honest injun
Or a blackguard chicken
Waiting to flee

27 days into the New Year
a cross-examination
of the ketuk ketampis
of the first among equals
the blackguards the unmentionables

A new administration
A time for clear management
No more nekkid chickens
No more pointing the feathers
At the dog for sucking eggs

When it was the chicken
That broke all the gates
that little blackguard
the garden snail of the poultry
that let the fox into the henhouse

27 Days into the New Year!
