I look at its voracious beak  
And eyes that pierce right through me  
Those beady eyes, what do they seek  
Those pupils, dark and gloomy

First Contact’s filling me with dread  
I monitor its vitals  
The ruby comb, the feathered head  
Appears to match its titles

We stand, its wings won’t let it sit  
And now they serve our dinner  
God, let it be a total hit  
Then I’ll come home a winner

I watch it as it stabs its plate  
And here the plot does thicken  
It swallows, then, merciful fate  
It comments, “tastes like chicken”
