             Ballad of a Boneless Chicken
                  by Jack Prelutsky
        sung to the Beverly Hillbillies Theme

         I'm a basic boneless chicken,
         yes, I have no bones inside,
         I'm without a trace of rib cage,
         yet I hold myself with pride,
         other hens appear offended
         by my total lack of bones,
         they discuss me impolitely
         in derogatory tones.

         I am absolutely boneless,
         I am boneless through and through,
         I have neither neck nor thighbones,
         and my back is boneless too,
         and I haven't got a wishbone,
         not a bone within my breast,
         so I rarely care to travel
         from the comfort of my nest.

         I have feathers fine and fluffy,
         I have lovely little wings,
         but I lack the superstructure
         to support these splendid things.
         Since a chicken finds it tricky
         to parade on boneless legs,
         I stick closely to the hen house,
         laying little scrambled eggs.
