Hi GW,
This poem surely fits the bill. It is funny in a dark way. It uses theater going as a metaphor for killing and chicken for dinner.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest.
Congrats for being this month's recognized writer.
Joan

I enjoyed the eye-catching artwork of the chicken with the blue tail and the night spent with the flock! Your dinner tale was witty!! Best wishes in the contest- Joan

Grisly business, killing chickens, the proper word for it is "defenestration
done with clever, then hung out on a clothesline to dry. good job making it witty.

This is TOO cute...most likely the winner. 'Dinner and a show'...I love me some fried chicken...but I think I'll pass on the show, ha ha. Blessings....

Yes indeed a truly witty take here in this witty 5-7-5 contest - an excellent choice of color for the fowl 'russet feathers'- well done in the confines of the format

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem. A fresh farm chicken is the most delicious dinner one can get. The chicken we get from the supermarket is injected with at least 40% water to make it look better.

I like this poem because it is clever. Your third line sums up the first two. Dinner and a show, indeed! You met the criteria for 5-7-5 and for being witty. Good luck with this entry in the contest.
