I’ll be the first
To admit
That I think
Chickens are a lot of fun
Hens and roosters too
And of course the chicks
I always loved
Spending time
At my Uncle Johnny’s place
Because he had a henhouse
And I got to go and get
The morning eggs
All of the
Cluck-clucking
Made life so much fun
Except the sad times
When they warned me
About how not to treat them like pets
Because they’re not pets
But I forsook all that
And did it anyway
And even gave them names
Because I knew
I had to head back to the city
Soon enough
So I could go back to my regular life
And just remember the chickens that I named Bob, Rob, Andy, Randy, Jill, Bill, and also Sandy.
