RAFFLE CHICKEN

Have you got your chicken for the raffle?”
I heard the man say.
The prize is a battle of wine.
Oh, I thought, this reminds me of
A lice in Sunderland,
As the wine grows
And the veg table shrinks.
I was never any good at tables,
Two or ten, they never grew,
They were always stunted in some way.

Anyway, I got my chicken for the raffle,
Still living and feathered.
It clucked off
As soon as I put it down.
I said, “That was my chicken.
What happens when it’s drawn?”
No, it’s clucked off
To avoid being drawn.
Chicken’s don’t like that.

So, my raffle chicken lived to be sold again
And the man kept the battle of wine,
Which was now only a bottle
And had grown to normal size
As the table sank.
I left right away,
Turning right on the road on the left.
I met my chicken
Playing chicken with the traffickers
Trading in old money,
Lack of dosh,
Which was the cause of
A lice in Sunderland
Creeping about having been dealt by old Doc Side
Who needled everyone.
Needless to say,
That’s how my raffle chicken
Got off its perch.
