Of Drumsticks and Tortured Love

By Carpe Deum

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Sometimes I wonder If everything tastes like chicken What does chicken taste like? Who decided that chicken tasted like chicken And why? And... If 'shrimp' is a derogatory nickname meaning 'small' Why are there jumbo shrimp? And if ice is made of water Why is there dry ice? And black light? Tortured love? And the ever popular 'Military intelligence'? Why? Maybe I ask too many questions But I've always believed That if light is light, it can't be black That if shrimp is small, it can't be jumbo And that if two people love each other enough There cannot be tortured love Everyone tells me That's just the way it is But still, I have to wonder... What does chicken taste like? Written March 25th, 2002 © on Mar 25 2002 05:38 AM PST   18 • 0 • 14
