Justice Takes Holly Down

Holly McGilly was mean and rude to her mother today Justice, the old honest hen heard her and was blown away I will make that rude teenager take her rude words away She took Holly down in the barnyard that day She clucked on her head and she spit on her chin, so soft. She rolled her in pig manure, and knocked her glasses off She tromped her with her talons and she pecked her with her beak. The rooster knew better to call her off, so the animals did not speak. Your mother is terrific, kind and wonderful, the hen said. Next time you hurt her feelings, you are going to wind up dead. Holly ran back to apologize in triplicate to her mother that day. But the second she turned eighteen, she moved far far away.
