I think there are few critters that are more productive and more a part of our diets than the chicken (Gallus Domesticus). So here is a shout out to all the hens out there and a big (tongue-in-beak) thank you. Your work does not go unnoticed. Oh boy, will this increase my flock of fowl-owers!
Chicken Pride
I thank the hens that on cue produce
their ovum for our dining use
Generous with their little peeps
knowing they are not for keeps
They pump them out with get up and go
every two to three days or so
Production at a break-neck pace
wing to wing, with little space
Lucky gals may have a loft
to let the egg settle soft
I hope to think they don't regret
their part to make my om-el-ette
If hens do have an emotional side
then may they feel some chicken pride
And when they settle for the night
dream of two eggs over light
