Hermetic Justice

Chickens we consign to coops
    Pigs we pack into pens
  Horses we corral in a stable
    Cows we stick in a shed

  Our children play in spacious playpens
    at night, like roses, they sleep in a bed
  Yet animals have fun, they feed and frolic
    ~ while asthmatic youngsters develop colic

Interesting train of thought, Gershon. I liked the sprinkling of alliteration in this one. bb
