The Back Yard Flock: Fowl verse


It’s always the same with these chickens

Freedom has been within their grasp
so many times, but:

If they slip out the side gate,
they stop by the garage
to eat the bugs.

If they get out the back gate,
they stop at the woodpile
to eat the bugs.

And so, they never expand their horizons.
They just can’t seem to get the bugs out.
