A carefully laid out selection
of steel instruments spread before him.
His eyes were wild with intensity,
his focus sharp.
His victim lay helpless, motionless.
With a blind fervor,
he plunged his knife into the breast.
Cleanly dissecting flesh like some mad scientist.
Never again would he pay such high prices for boneless chicken breasts.

Loved your 55.

--Someone Is Special--
Cutting edge 55.
Haha! I had a sneaking suspicion that there was going to be a surprise ending....but even though I was ready for "the catch", you STILL made me laugh out loud when the punchline was delivered. Classic.
Great 55!!

So did she buy them?
I'm glad you weren't pulling a Hannibal Lecter on us, Monkey Man! I was worried there for a moment.
Ha ha! I know that problem. They cost a bomb.
My 55 are here.
Cutting edge poetry there :-)
A sharp contribution! You should feel serrated! lol!
O help! We are led into hoping for murder most foul and find a chicken! Great, teasing 55!
..i'm glad i'm not a chicken…lol
mine is here
Hey! Nice one.
I can't bear touching meat at all.
What's that you say? You're not supposed to eat the bones too? Damn all of these years and i've been doing it wrong!
I actually used to do this!!! Thanks for reminding me.
This was a sharp 55!
Everybody should know how to do a bit of butchering. (It's an absolute must for hunting and fishing)
I buy pork loins instead of pork chops, whole chickens and turkeys instead of wings and breasts, and entire rib roasts or whole flanks instead of single steaks.
It's rare that I pay extra for my meat just because somebody else used a knife (or a bandsaw!) instead of me.
All I need is a decent set of knives and I am with you on this one!
as so often happens reading your 55's and 160's, I let out pent-up breath in the last line - good job!
LOL...too funny. On the cutting edge my friend. Excellent 55. Have a wonderful Friday :)
Yep, the only way to get back at inflated prices is to take it out on dinner. :)
Well done...have a great weekend!
Have you noticed how many cooking shows are on now?! Excellent 55 and love those knives!! :)
Totally chickened out on 55! Props to you! :)
bloody steel !!!! ;)
cutting edge 55 monkey-man :D
I was wondering where this was going, great suspenseful 55er, and the visual added to the drama.
Witty clever, writing.
Cheers,
Joanny
You got me. Nice!
You are so clever. I wish I could do a good job of fileting a chicken breast. I'd probably save more money buying them already boneless!
Mine is at:

Glad to see he's keeping abreast of the situation.

Who needs a butcher when you've got surgical precision?
Haha, very good ... you had me thinking fava beans and a nice chianti!
(theonlycin here; would allow me to comment using my WordPress ID)
You had me going there for a minute. nice job.

WOWWW!!! This was so full of suspense.. I actually thought he killed SOMEBODY!!!
Now, I just HOPE for his sake that his "victim" wasn't infected with salmonella! ;-)
Neat write, MM...
