Beauty of the Chic and Chicken

Isn "t the beauty In the dress ?
What it shows and what it hides
leaving the rest to imagination
isn't it the beauty ?
Don't you agree ?

But real beauty is underneath the dress
I know you will agree
ivory coloured skin
and the contours covered by it
Is the beauty
Yet the shapes need to be magnetic
eye catching and provacative
to fit the claim it is beauty

Greeks were the first to see such
and sculptured to last till the eternity

Where is the beauty underneath the skin
It is all flesh soaked in blood
Like chicken brought from the market
which you like skinless

But this chic you need with the skin only
You embrace it , hold it tight to the chest
You smell it you kiss it
You lick it you suck it
You play with it cat and mouse
Until you are exhausted, powerless
Not knowing
that the mouse will start playing later

Chicken from the market
You don' t kiss
Unless you are dead drunk
Ofcourse you smell it when roasted
You lick it too when reduced to the bone
You don't play with it
You simply devour it
with the same gusto
you consume your chic.

What happens to the beauty
without the ivory skin ?
Is beauty an imagination
in the mind
Or
Is the beauty dressed up
unpalatable,
can not do without reality ?

But the roasted chicken
( mind you that is dressed up too)
Is definitely palatable
and it does not play mouse
to a tamed cat in a trap
once crept into its imagination

We get caught to both
because of our greed
One goes to the stomach direct
and gets in to the blood stream
The other remains out side
and cleverly does the same
Both can put our blood pressure up
Caution ! my friends
This could be fatal.

My friends
I have laiid down the facts
in front of you, clearly
Can you resist the temptation
for the chic or the chicken ?

Don't tell me
I know the answer is negative.

Chic and chicken are essential
parts in our lives today. Chic found
the way to get into our blood stream
at the begining of the world. Chicken
entered the arena at an unknown
later time. If you do not consume carefully in meassured medicinal quantities both can make you sick.
Finally you will be sick of your
own life .
