chicken-enigma, arise, and seize thy fateful compliment!

thanks @vickykarma ;-)

I learned poultry writing from observation. I try to pay attention to details. I don't just talk about chickens but what kind of chicken it is. Does it lay eggs or is it a cock? Poultry is more than generalizations and adjectives and adverbs but it is really choosing the exact noun and verb.

You could easily say:

"Why did the corny chicken walk gleefully across the broad cement road?"

But it just doesn't capture the same light as:

Twas a Tyson chicken came cross the road
Old Sammy did tell me heaven forebode
Purdue chickens just don't got the guts to splatter
On the concrete platter

@mineopoly,

Misepelling in the comments section of a poet ... has consequences. :-)

I'm not sure but I saw it as a direct play on the phrase:

paltry sabre

I am poor at spelling and if I don't have some kind of software to check my spelling then I come up with some strange stuff. I really like this spelling misteak.
