Ode to a psycho chikken:

Your reptile stare,

that feathered bod,

when we got you,

I thought you odd.

Poison green,

with razor beak,

Russian she-assassin,

you were a freak.

I fed you, watered you,

and gave you treats,

You hated only me,

shark caretaker sweet.

Bitchy, loud, Houdini escape keet,

sometimes bloodied, I’d quickly retreat.

Apex predators celebrate the bold,

parakeet of violence your tale is told.

Psycho chikken, your death bell is rung,

death has silenced your vicious tongue.

I’ll miss your diva attitude and violent attacks upon my fins.

You hated me with style and commitment.

R.I.P Zero Dark Birdie...

Peterina, the most angry of creatures.
