Egads! There\u2019s a multi-colored brown chicken on the loose.
\nHe\u2019s pecking and clucking in my backyard.
\nWhy ever did the farmer
\nlet down his guard.<\/p>\n
Doesn\u2019t he know the coyote<\/p>\n
is one hungry fool?<\/p>\n
His eyes are keen and
\nhis choppers are wet with drool.<\/p>\n
My dog barks and barks,
\nthinking this is really a lark.<\/p>\n
Our cat sits in the window chattering his teeth.<\/p>\n
he wants to sink them deep.<\/p>\n
Oh dear gussie,\u00a0 the chicken\u00a0 roosts up in the pine tree.
\nDoes he think he\u2019s a little song bird?<\/p>\n
The cluck, cluck, cluck
\ndefies any song I\u2019ve ever heard.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a yip yip yodel and a cluck;
\nthe chicken is out of luck.<\/p>\n
He gave it all he\u2019d got;
\nbut, the coyote had him caught.<\/p>\n
Yes, this is the end of the story;<\/p>\n
Egads@ Oh Dear Gussie, and Alas;<\/p>\n
I am so sorry.
\nIt may seem rather cruel;
\nbut, it\u2019s actually a joke for April Fool!<\/p>\n
