Miss Peg

i have a proud hen called miss peg
who hasn't given me one egg
she is failing to produce
i am starting to deduce
the best part of her is the leg

cant say I haven't considered that, but they are the wife's pets! Those omelets she is eating are very expensive.

A totally delightful poem, Timothy. My father raised hens on his little self-sufficiency farm. He had names for many of them. So I am particularly fond of this little gem. A FAVE limerick for me.
