Prized

Nominate the sitting hens 
While they cling to a screen wire 
Watch them picking with their cut-off bills 
Crown he fattest, crown the best 
Breeding brooder that contest 
In the competition that you give 
Let's play a losing game 
Versus the sickness and versus the pain 
Versus the butcher again and again 
The winning is rated 
The bodies were sized 
And the winner is ... prized 
Nominate the perfect egg 
And observe its innocence 
Like the whiteness of a stillborn child 
Crown the fattest, crown the best 
Laying layer that contest 
In the competition that you give 
Let's play a losing game 
Versus the sickness and versus the pain 
Versus the butcher again and again 
The winning is rated 
The bodies were sized 
And the winner is ... prized 
Nominated to die
