Rubber Chicken
December 11, 2013
To me it was awkward
Like a rubbery toy chicken
That has no purpose.
How you may ask?
Well, chickens aren't
Supposed to be rubber.
We may have sat close together
Much like tar and feathers.
Held each other's cold and sweaty hands
But that was about it
Not much for talking
Just sat there encased in a chicken coop.
We were almost like siblings
Without the bickering or taunting
Or any resemblance.
We never went out to the movies
(My mom said I was too young)
So I hope never again
Will a relationship be
As awkward as a rubber chicken.
