If You Can Ignore the Hen

If you can ignore the hen, the date will be fine.
She was not sure what this cryptic message meant.
He arrived with a hen on his head, ready to dine.
Like others, her heart immediately turned to cement.

She made an excuse and left quickly enough.
Like all the others, he told his disbelieving brother.
He never tired of talking about eggs, chicks and stuff.
Do you think it’s the hen? He asked his wise mother.
