“We’re mad as hell! We’re not going to take it anymore,” they chanted to their “superior” as she called herself. She cowered in her office. Her supervisor attempted to calm her. “Come to my office,” said she.

“I can’t go out there! Please send someone to get me.”

“You’re an adult. Open your door.”

She cautiously peeked out to find placards strewn across the carpet in front of her door. A chicken on one: “Fowl Play;” a raven on another with a circle and line through it: “Crow no more.”

“I knew taking chicken off the menu was a mistake!”

This is for Lance’s 100 Word Song challenge: Revolution. I was pleased to be allowed to choose this week’s song after Lance read last week’s entry about Annie – Telling Stories.

Of course, the new tune had to come from my generation – thus the Beatles and Revolution. Of course, I then had brain blockage as I tried to come up with 100 words worthy of the song – and the challenge. I ventured into the world of the grandest revolutions in “recent” history, but decided I could do none of them justice. So, SNARK wins out in the end. The above is a mostly fictitious piece. It, as always, has some element of truth hidden within the lines. Chicken, anyone?

    NETWORK!!!! God I love that movie. I had a prof in college who was not given (I had him for like four or five classes) to multimedia in the classroom. (And in the early 90s, that meant video). He showed Network through to the end in our class on literature and World Views. I think it’s funny that this one is about chicken on the menu.

    Now I’m hungry for chicken. The image of the woman trapped in her office is priceless.
