I hope I'm not too orthodox	A
To give a joke away	B
That took me like the chicken pox	A
And left a debt to pay	B
	-
Let argument ignore the cost	C
If it be dear or cheap	D
And only claim that naught be lost	E
When it's too good to keep	D
	-
The proverb says All flesh is grass	F
But this I do deny	G
Because of that which came to pass	F
But not to pass me by	G
	-
A body weighing by the pound	H
Inside of half a score	I
In case and cordage safely bound	H
Was landed at my door	I
	-
What could it be for friends are slack	J
And give I rather trow	K
When they are sure of getting back	J
As much as they bestow	K
	-
My hair at thought of dark design	L
Or dynamitish fate	M
Stood up like quills of porcupine	L
But more than twice as straight	M
	-
Anon I mused on something rare	N
Like duck or terrapin	L
But dreamed not of the parcel there	N
Might be a pullet in	L
	-
A mighty jerk the string that broke	O
The fowl affair revealed	P
The victim of a cruel choke	O
Its neck completely peeled	P
	-
The biped in its paper cof	Q
Fin cramped and plump and neat	R
Had scratched its very toenails off	Q
In making both ends meat	R
	-
The only part I always ate	M
That never made me ill	S
Had gone away decapitate	M
And carried off the bill	S
	-
I pondered o'er the sacrifice	T
The merry thought the wings	U
On giblet gravy salad nice	T
And chicken pie ous things	U
	-
In heat of Fahrenheit degree	V
Two hundred twelve or more	I
Where its grandsire defying me	V
Had crowed the year before	I
	-
I thrust it with a hope forlorn	L
I knew what toughness meant	W
And sighed that ever I was born	L
To die of roasting scent	W
	-
But presto what denouement grand	X
Of cookery sublime	Y
'Twas done as by the second hand	X
The drumsticks beating thyme	Y
	-
And now the moral he who buys	Z
Will comprehend its worth	A2
Look not so much to weight and size	Z
As to the date of birth	A2
	-
In fowls there is a difference	B2
The good die young they say	B
And for the death of innocence	B2
To make us meat we pray	B
