A Sonnet
Here’s the alternate version I wrote – which do you prefer?
--
Didn't you hear? They're after the chickens!
Every chicken must be known to the King
And be on a register-type of thing.
It's a tale enough to rival Dickens.
But here's where we see that the plot thickens:
Under the pretext of "bird flu" they'll bring
Control of your whole flock under their wing,
And technocratic takeover quickens.
I hope you're keeping chickens in your yard;
I hope your chickens are unregistered
I hope they cannot be tracked and then traced
To support the use of a ration card.
Give jabs and toxic feed to not one bird
And watch the pecks of fear you have erased.
.
Plea' don' beat me Massa. Ain't nobody here but us chickens!

Ha!
Ahoy, freedom lovers, ahoy!
While I will not agree with everything you might say, nevertheless I will honorably defend your right to say it!
Great poem! Hope you like this Suno AI musical version:
