Don Johnson Poet Ballad

Chookie Chics

2 chooks upon a branch,
squalkin sqeekin inhaling ants,
up away from the fox,
singin sweet as goldilox,
brings a tear to mine eye.

good one Russell Sivey, mate....'Two Birds'

some Aussie chickens live up in the trees,
Fox he dont climb so well,
chooks are pleased...

(chook = fowl)

Don

Elizabeth Wesley July 20, 2012 at 8:21 PM Who wrote what, is Russ part of the poem or one of the writers? Never heard of a chicken in a tree, fascinating dilemma as I see it. I like chook better than fowl too. You hit it just right mate! :) Don Johnson July 20, 2012 at 11:41 PM inspired by Russells "two birds" Aussie chooks fly up into trees and escape the nimble cunning Pommy Fox introduced here for fox humting....which dont happen here no more:)

Michelle Mac Donald July 19, 2012 at 11:56 PM Love this one, Don! Woke up and must have been needing a smile, I suppose.:) This is like a rhyme we could say to our kids and they'd smile too! Best wishes, Mikki

Kim Merryman July 19, 2012 at 5:11 PM Good one, Don! Very entertaining. Love, Kim

David Williams July 19, 2012 at 12:37 PM Don, yep I can see them now, well done mate..Dave

Russell Sivey July 19, 2012 at 10:33 AM I just love the line, "singin sweet as goldilox," such a fantastic line there my friend! I don't think I would have come up with that word, goldilox, that rhymed with fox as easily as it probably came to you! You've done excellent with this rendition of my write! I really enjoyed it a lot! Great Work!!
