Backyard Ladies

By Mrs. Marcus and her Little Hen

Oh beautiful chickens
Oh fowl most high
We are ever so grateful
Away you don’t fly.

Oh clever wondrous birds
You need no fellow
To lay your treasure
With yolks most yellow.

Sweet feathered ladies
Your shape makes us happy
Your cluck lets us know
Your attitude is snappy!

Wondrous creatures of rhythm
Your movements hypnotic
Your dig and your scratch
Are hardly spasmodic.

Oh glorious hens
You nest and you roost
Just the sight of you
Gives my mood a boost

Treasured backyard girls of the coop
What more can I say?
Feeding and watering and gathering you in
Is a joy for me each day.
