Why did the chicken cross the road?
ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone.
Thought we should build us a grand chicken coop
Besides, gardens thrive with fresh poultry poop
Cute little farm, chickie’s don’t get attached
So fuzzy and cuddly when they are hatched
Watch where you’re walking when out tossing feed
Biddies go “POP!’ if stepped on, yes indeed.
Roosters grow into big cock attitudes,
Only keep one of these male fortitudes
Eggs arrive when the hens start their laying
Way better than store bought, I’m just sayin’
A chicken lays an egg once every day
She can’t lay no more ‘cuz she’s made that way
Quite the process to see how the eggs vent
That’s what farmer’s call where the egg is spent
Friends came to visit one hot afternoon
Asked us quite quizzically, “Wha’ch’y’all doin’?
Said, “We’re watching a chicken lay an egg.”
We’ll have nog later sprinkled with nutmeg.
She gave a frown, said, “I don’t understand,”
“These chickens they run around in the sand!”
Gave her a look of confusion and doubt,
“Tell me, dear, where do you think eggs come out?”
Poor girl was dumbfounded right from the start
“Well, I thought eggs all came from the Wal-mart!”
