This Emily Chick is Sick!

This is a parody of "A Bird Came Down the Walk."

One dead slumped down the Walk—

He grunted so I saw—

He bit a mailman in halves

And ate the fellow, raw,

And then he drank from Lou

Who died within the Grass—

And shuffled sideways to the Street

To let this Slayer pass—

He peered with famished eyes

That wandered all around—

They looked like lifeless Orbs, I thought—

He stirred his Sagging Head

Like one dismembered, dying,

I forced in him a Blade

And he unleashed his entrails

And moaned him softer home—

Than Babes cry out when smothered,

Too gruesome for this scene—

Or Leftovers, left In the Pond

Float, lifeless after drowned.
