Pheasents book of 101 ways to die before you get shot

I'm a baby pheasant
And I really want to die
For if I grow my feathers
I will surly have to fly
And if I spread my wings
I will only get shot
Then they'll put me on a stick
And cook me in a pot
So listen hear all siblings
Curled up in side you egg
There is nothing out there for us
So remember what I've said
For there isn't any mommy
With feathers nice and warm
Just human ugly faces
As they send us off at dawn
So lets just all stop tapping
I promise there's no catch
Lay down all your equipment
And politely refuse to hatch
Now for those that didn't listen
I shall tell you what's in store
So try your best to die
Before you reach a foreign shore
There will be no gentle clucking
As you take a thirsty drink
So find the big red circles
Dive in head first and sink
But if your still living
And there's many thousands more
Just peck each others arses
Until the blood begins to poor
This feast wont last fore ever
Because they fit you with a bit
They stick it in your nostrils
And it makes you feel quite sick
At last there is grass and sunshine
But you will start to feel quite ill
So refuse to drink your water
Because they lace it with a pill
And if you think your doing well
There's still time before the shoots
Just go and play with all the crows
They will take your eyes out by the roots
Now this one takes some planning
But it really is a blast
Just fly top speed past the green men
And take their ears off as you pass
There's still plenty of survivors
And we a running out of room
So its time to fly our races
And break our necks as we zoom
Now I think our look is changing
I swear I can see some trees
Its the closest place to heaven
And there's a lovely gentle breeze
There's still green men that feed us
And they whistle as they go
They never seem to harm us
Until one day BANG BANG I told you so

I have never read a poem about pheasants before. Unfortunately, the present farming techniques often kill many of them. They are beautiful birds, and I love to hear their calls when I walk the fields or the woods. I wish their were more poems about hunting, fishing and game. I love your theme and the images you paint in your poem. Cheers! JCG
Hi
glad you understand it I spent some time helping a friend on his game farm they actually have a lovely life all reared free range in huge grass runs and the release pens in the woods are like heaven . Its just poultry and pheasants been the worst will peck at each other and kill when kept in numbers . Baby pheasants just don't seem to want to live such a shame , have you read the poem alone the little blue pheasant killed his mate and its very hard to pair them up againe as they will kill a new hen
