Fowl Language

What is it ‘bout fowl language,
                     makes folks complain the most?
It doesn’t seem to faze 
                 10 million chickens coast to coast!
 
So many are misled
by what they hear as “chatter”
       But if they spoke some ‘fowl” themselves
they’d know what was the matter!

For one thing, it’s the roosters,
                               bad as chauvinistic pigs!!
They can’t converse at all
                          without getting in their digs!

Cramped quarters are another,
                               makes decorating tough!
To put feed on the table
                                has really gotten rough!

Then, the turkeys, ducks and geese
                                   have to join the band
Their accents are so heavy,
                   makes them hard to understand!

I get my info from the source
                             not from some old trucker
I know Amelia Egghart
                      She’s the Head Mother Clucker!
