Cats, Turkeys And Naked Chicken Poem by Raj Arumugam

Cats, Turkeys And Naked Chicken

Rating: 4.5


my office-mate Kate
she winces at seeing a cat
run over on the road
and is sad for days;
but gentle and kind as she is
she loves skin-naked turkeys
and plucked and bare chicken
she selects at the supermarket;
and she prepares them
and stuffs them with tender-loving care
to conjure decorated dishes
that will win her praise
and that will make her days

Very true for a lot of us, Raj. I wonder if Kate would eat her naked chickens if she saw the way they are reared and killed...... Fran xx
