HAHA! Damn girl. This was awesome. All the references to barnyard fowl were not lost on me. Yes, yes, we don't condone murder but sometimes the bastards gotta pay. Trust me, having been there before, you often dream of the demise of the monster you're living with. Cooking them up for dinner never occurred to me. lol
..."now I've got a plan I'm hatching"... and ..."the children are all squawking"... Brilliant. Love how you intertwine your special word play on something as 'simple' as running a knife through a man who clearly deserves it. HAHA! Sorry. Loved this!!!
I know you're in there. LMAO. Kiss Kiss Lynda

Hi Lynda. I'm so pleased you popped up to bestow a 6. You and I understand how cocky roosters need to have their goose cooked.

HAHA! Awesome. Great entry.

Interesting poem, Lisa May, and interesting end notes. I'm relieved to know you're not in favor or murdering and/or eating one's husband.
What you describe in the poem is all too true in so many circumstances. It's a very serious subject, and I admire how you kept up the seriousness while still throwing in several poultry references. Technically, your poem flows smoothly, and your rhymes work well.

Yes, I wouldn't recommend murder either, but it seems that sometimes incarceration for a long period, or murder, are the only solution, I'm particularly alarmed at the murders of children in these affairs, never mind the physical and mental abuse of spouses, I actually don't understand that level of malevolence, beautifully written Jenny, blessings Roy

I wish there were more repercussions for abusive behavior. You used your sense of humor, but you seriously portray the lives of too many women. And children who have to hear and see the abuse.
Thanks for writing this. It's very appropriate for mental health weak.

'I suggest it is better to go to a food bank than to eat your husband' - if you ever need an entry for a 'tell a story in a single line' or somesuch, you have it right here :-).
Apologies for the flippant comment but I couldn't resist. Your poem is excellent and of course evocative of very dark things but also, I think, a little bit playful.

I enjoyed your flippant response to my slightly flippant poem. I can't help being playful. It's got me into trouble sometimes when people don't think I'm taking an issue seriously enough, but I think humour has more chance of carrying a strong message that gets noticed.
