#fowl
the hens
have raised their fowl fists,
protested the pecking order,
debated the Cuckoo Clucks Clan,
and started a coup in the coop.
they have a bird's eye view from their fort,
truly an eggcelent perch to reside in while they gather resources and
duck when enemies fire.
joining is a nestcessary evil to end the corruption.
so, my dear,
please don't chicken out.

The moat where we keep watery fowl
afloat feeding them cracked corn
scattered from our parapets.
Repaired the dry rot in the gate, got the
drawbridge working, again…it rusts.
There is dust, makes us sneeze.
Stumble over stones, look at masons
askance. Threaten grain withholding
(hint: barley) unless they
make ‘em flush.
How fun to keep
the keep
shiny.

Scrunch your nose and jut your chin
Show me birds and evil eyes
I want to taste the crow
Strip the silver from your tongue
Dangle it above my face
Show me how fortunate fools can be
I want to taste the crow
Though all I get is grit and grizzle and Snapped raven wings
So can you really blame me for
Scrunching my nose?
