I Saved This Hen for Myself

I saved this hen for myself the little girl said
Skipping out of the field with a fowl so red.
The fowl loved her, and she loved her too.
She skipped and galloped with a yoo hoo hoo.

Her parents were startled she wanted this pet.
At least it’s not a dragon said her Cousin Shet.
Or a male peacock said her Uncle Slim.
There are no more arrogant birds than the likes of them.
