Henhouse Party

The chook house was found in disarray;
eggs were broken in a manic affray,
there were playboys galore; 
drunk chooks on the floor -
the police are suspecting foul play.

Hello Bette … thanks for reading and commenting. A proper lyric is not as easy to write as it looks and it took quite some time to learn the craft - Merry Christmas Bette - Lindsay

Same as previous Limerick's 'horse play' I'm now happily digesting 'foul play', Lindsay. You're really good at these! ~ Wishing you a happy Christmas, my friend. // paul

G'day Rico … perhaps the riot act should have been read and the chooks warned that they'll replace the turkeys on Christmas Day - Merry Christmas Rico - Lindsay
