Eagles
(find the punchline on your own)

CEE

Stealing from a Redd Foxx joke,
I told my friend my mother cooked us an
Eagle
For Thanksgiving
Before I could continue on, grimfaced, he said,
“I Tell You What,
That’s NOT GOOOOOD!!!”,
Like we, on welfare, in subsidized housing
At that time
Had obtained the National Bird
For Thanks
Something even epicureans pay their firstborn for
On the Black Market,
....Jesus...
Then again, I’m the tightest-assed, prissiest Puritan
You’ll ever chance to meet,
And the same guy
Got tightlipped/upset/quietly furious
When one night, I jokingly offered cocaine
There Was No cocaine...
Just like there Was No eagle...
But, he was terribly hot and bothered
By how illegal were my nonexistent crimes

(These are the kind of people
Who shook my hand in Life and
Called me “friend”)
