Mike, the headless chicken

Mike, the headless chicken-
Mike, a chicken with head when
his head was severed, survived
as Mike, the headless chicken.

He ran around after his head was chopped,
as all headless chicken are supposed to do-
I haven't seen one, may be you have-
but then, unlike the others that
plopped down to be made into curry,
he preened and pecked with his neck:
surviving on food dropped down his slit throat
with an ink-filler.

He lived for eighteen more months

till one day,
he choked to death.
