Ok, I couldn't help but dig this song I'd written in 92' that got published
in the Forward about Shlogn Kapores. Sorry if I offend anyone, my father
wouldn't talk to me for months after he read this.

chicken chicken one of you
is gonna boil in my stew
My last supper 'fore the fast
a substittute for sins I cast

chicken die for all my woes,
let me hurl you by your toes,
overhead and bowels loose
what a mess, please excuse

Chicken chicken on the cross
I have sins if you have sauce
be my gravy, be my wings,
relieve me of my earthly things,

Chicken chicken crucified
Do you have nails banged in your mind,
feel my rhythm sting my brain,
relieve me of my aches and pains,

Chicken, you are my repentance
I pledge in your name 18 cents
But while you writhe consigned to die,
I pray for long life, peace, and sigh,

Chicken chicken I'm not yours
You have sins washed on my shores
But If you rise again remember,
Clean your past limbs I dismember

Then Chicken chicken
ring ;my bell
and hand deliver what you sell,
Pieces stuffed, with crust outside,
finger lickin'  - certified
