To Peaches

Peaches the Hen got out of the pen
She wanted to do some shopping,
She hopped in a truck, but darn her bad luck
The store owner said "Hens can't come in."

Peaches squawked and she talked, and ran round and round
She threatened to start up a hen-cott,
But Rob came along, just too big and strong,
And scooped Peaches up from the ground.

"Back in the truck, wayward hen of my wife's"
Quoth Rob as he locked up this bird,
"I'll get you for this, foul shoe-er of mules!"
Was the last thing that poor Robert heard.

Peaches sat in that truck and created some muck
She fluttered and grunted and squirmed,
When her struggles did cease she lifted one leg-
And forthwith did lay one white egg.
