Rubber chickens ate my bed !
I said, have something else instead
But rubber chickens don't obey,
and rubber chicks are here to stay
I tried to feed them rubber seeds,
but rubber seeds just ain't their feed
and soon they'd eaten half my chair
These rubber chickens just don't care
They ate my forks, and ate my spoons
Then started on my living room
The cushions went, so too my seat
These rubber chickens can't half eat
I went to live in my back shed
But rubber chicks got there instead
They ate my shovel, ate my spade
Then they ate my mower blade
There's nothing that they can't digest
They even ate my woolly vest
My underpants and anorak,
were eaten as a mid-day snack !
The local cops would not believe,
how much chickens make you grieve
They ran amok, I could not cope
Was there any ray of hope ?
So off to buy a rubber gun…..
Now I thought I'll have some fun
Rubber chickens in the air !
Rubber chickens everywhere !
A neighbour asked what had I done...
"Rubber chickens on the run…!?"
"A triple rubber bullet dose
Aimed right up their Parsons Nose"
Cluck !

HAHA! I like, I like a lot. I respect rubber chickens, I use to play ice hockey and our team was just terrible. The only game we ever won was the game I took a rubber chicken into battle. After we won everyone held up the chicken and danced around screaming, the other team thought we were idiots. After that glorious victory, we put the rubber chicken on a hockey stick and sent it flying high over the ice ever since. It got worn out eventually and it's head came off. That's when my friend taped it to the butt of his hockey stick and went out for the face off only to be questioned by the referee.
lol. Anyway, great poem and thanks for bringing back a great memory.

Excellent write Bob, great fun and rhymed and flowed beautifully. Love your work. The normal thing these days is to fish with rubber bait so I am waiting to catch a rubber fish so I dont have to clean it ..

Now that the chickens have eaten your anorak Bob does this mean you can't go train spotting?
Lotsa fun here - those chickens get everywhere.
