Mag # 39




The chicken looked at me
Imperiously
And said
Don’t try to distract me
With that
‘Sky is falling’ shit -
Those are my babies
Scrambled on your plate
Barbarian!

    This is so funny. And because it sort of isn't superficial funny, it comes over even funnier.

    Just so you don't feel too guilty, the eggs you buy in most places aren't fertilized, so they won't become chicks even if you don't eat them.
