Whats on my mind? Crazy Chicken is no more...like I didnt see that one coming. Woke up to chicken screaming at dawn. Coyotes! I ran out to the barnyard in my bathrobe to save Crazy Chicken, but found nothing. All the critters were acting really nervous, like theyd just witnessed the murder. I scouted for feathers but found nothing. She was gone. Must have been a quick, clean kill and the villain was already up the hill with her body. Poor Crazy Chicken. She didnt like to be inside the coop, and I quit trying to make her. She was a friendly chicken, a free bird, sleeping high in an oak tree at night, scratching dukie by day. She was an egg layer too, although Im not sure where. Ill be finding rotten eggs in bushes over the next few years, Im sure. Crazy Chicken, may you fulfill your destiny in the circle of life and may the coyote who snatched you, be satisfied. (What? I wrote all that chicken mumbo jumbo only moments ago. Took a break to make coffee, looked out the kitchen window, and boom, there was Crazy Chicken, preening outside the chicken coop! What the heck?!!! She must have fled under the chicken coop, and I must have scared off the coyote when I barreled out there. I just wrote a chicken obituary for nothing. Geez! He knows youre out there, Crazy Chicken. Tomorrow, my feathered friend, you may not be so lucky.)
