Chicks Strut Their Easter Bonnets

The chicks strutted their Easter bonnets all over the barnyard.
Their mother the hen was proud; she loved every second.
Their father did not claim them, they were so puffed up.
Everyone had an opinion.
Some good, some bad.

Too confident. Too cocky. Too self-assured.
These were the observations of the male chicks.
Exciting! Pretty! Lovely! Marvelous! Wonderful!
This was the oldest hen’s observation.
Let’s call her Grandma.

You have painted a lovely scene.... ! The strutting chicks, their proud mother hen, the whole brood of onlookers and the poetic granny who uses different epithets to describe her pretty grand children.... :) :)
