Man eating chicken

I once saw a man eating chicken
It was truly a hideous sight
It wasn’t quite what I expected
As I walked down the street late at night

I watched as the victim lay helpless
I stood in the lamplight alone
Rooted with fear by the sounds I could hear
While the flesh was ripped off of the bone

I took in the view there before me
Appalled by the thing’s I could see
As the huge hulking beast continued to feast
I feared the next victim was me

So soon the whole nightmare was over
All the flesh was now lying within
He wrapped up the bare chicken carcass
And threw the whole lot in the bin

Guess what I'm eating while reading your poem? lol.

A funny yet gruesome sight was my daughters yellow-fronted Amazon holding a chicken
leg in her raised claw, and saying *yummy* while ceating her feast. Something was not right about that picture.
