"His Chickens Are Out!"
There's this man who lives somewhere between Hunter River and Kensington, who lets his poultry run free in his front yard. I've noticed, however, that he doesn't let them out in the winter. But today, as I was staring out my window on the way home from school, I saw them! It must be spring, because his chickens were back! In honor of this milestone I have decided to write a poem for his chickens:
Feathers of gold,
except those that are brown
when I first glanced your way
you were running around
So peckish and free
so cool and refined
to think anything else
you'd have to be blind
I remember that day
back in September,
you fulfilled that joke
oh don't you remember?
Why did the chicken
cross the highway, or road
it is with your help alone
I could crack this code
You crossed because you could
you crossed to stand out
could any other do it like you?
this I truly doubt
Go see the chickens sometime, they inspire.
