The Phoenix or flying on your wishbone

The use-by date now long passed
That's why Phoenix meat's made to last

So old, after all
Twas on sale in the Mall

Strip the meat from the bones faster than fast
Then you fly on its wishbone, fly high or bust!

Inspiring! I just thought of an alternative last line - not meant as a correction of the original, just as a version inspired by your lines:

on the outskirts of Irkutsk Oblast  


(Don't know why that came into my mind.)

label says: do not roast over open fire

I’d hope phoenix doesn‘t dully „taste like chicken“

It's the wishbone that's important. So you can fly off on it ;)

Of course. Where else would one find phoenix for sale? Thank you. It was tough finding a good rhyme.
