Poem
A sly fox invaded the chicken coop Fostering ill will in a fowl-tasting soup With feathers festering in a cruel stew Good hens, the fox makes a mockery of you The fox chooses faves; others it condemns Roost rulers say there’s a glitch in the pen Sometimes the fox holds three races at a time Contenders use the fox as a way to climb Race results this dark force found a way to skew Making a mockery of hens like me and you If a chick is favored on the fox’s list It shows the pride in her run’s been dismissed The way for fair-minded chicks to strike back Play by foxy rules; go on the attack Resist temptation just to score a win Don’t support fox races, to its chagrin Patrons of drivel, weak chicks fall in line Are you willing to stand up and refine A coop deserted by quality hens Those who held the most talented pens A quality flock this hen house once boasted But some feathers by the fox were roasted From spitefulness, many hens have drowned Return equity to a coop the fox brought down Don’t let angelic hens fly the coop Just step back, see the truth, and then regroup Far be it from hens to support fowl play In other coops finer lines are displayed If you’re one who flew due to a fox attack Revisit the coop; we hens can strike back *Dedicated to all the talented ones (men and women) who flew the coop. Not directed at one person. Many a fox raided the coop.
