Sleep Squawking

My word, my word!
I think this sounds absurd
I wandered in my sleep last night
Then thought I was a bird

But then, but then!
I think I was a hen
As I tried to push an egg right through
Then awakened in a pen

Alas, alas!
T’was nothing, but some gas
I must have eaten something bad
And had to get up fast
