Prompt:
In olden days, in fields so green,
There lived a man of mystery, unseen,
His name was Marco, the hypnotizer,
His skills of trance made all mesmerizer.
One day while walking through the town,
He heard a clucking, a strange sound,
Following the noise, he saw a sight,
A chicken Cicero, that gave him a fright.
For Cicero was no ordinary bird,
He seemed to speak, with words absurd,
"I am no cluck, no peck, no hen,
But a wise philosopher, among men."
Marco was amazed and taken aback,
He couldn't believe what he did lack,
He looked at Cicero with eyes so wide,
For he had never met a chicken so bright.
Together they roamed through the land,
Cicero on Marco's shoulder, oh so grand,
As they traveled far and wide,
The chicken's wisdom, he couldn't hide.
They spoke of love, of life, of fate,
Of happiness, of sadness, and of hate,
Their conversations were so profound,
That all who listened, felt astound.
But one day, as they rested by a stream,
A hawk appeared, and Cicero did scream,
For he was no match for the bird so bold,
And soon he was captured, oh so cold.
