Span of a Hens Life

The Span Of Life
 by Robert Frost           

 
                                   Span of a Hen's Life 
                                       
            An aged hen clucks backwards without getting choked

                       I still recall when she was a yolk

                       
                                             <3  
                                   
                                     Frosty the Hen

                                              :)

Gershon Wolf February 25, 2023 at 6:16 PM Fabulous yoke, BJ! Keep the comedy coming! Light and Levity, Gershon Bj Legros Kelley March 2, 2023 at 9:57 PM Thank you Gershon, I'm not yolking, she's an eggs-traordinary and talented bird! Some people simply balk at her, to hear her, merrily clucking away backward. She's so funny. She even cracks up the eggs :)

James Peranteau February 22, 2023 at 5:22 AM I'm think'n that Frostyz gonna be around 'till her tenth birthday...or did Frosty end up crispy ;) oh no, i tell ya; i hear turtle soup iz great, yet, i have two...for thirteen yearz now...i guess i'm not gonna find out if they taste like chicken....;) much love, james Bj Legros Kelley March 2, 2023 at 9:49 PM No, not crispy!! Lol! May her feathers never fall. She's as rare as hen's teeth this bird. I always wondered though if she tastes like turtle? So, I understand where you stand with your pets as well, and I guess I will never know eithr, partly because, I never ate turtle anyway :) JK, I never even wondered if she tastes like a turtle, but everything it seems tastes like chicken, so obviously, she probably does? Lol, such poetic musings.

M. L. Kiser February 19, 2023 at 3:56 PM Cleverly unique penning, I'll have to think about how to cluck backward though; don't think I've ever heard one do that. Bj Legros Kelley March 2, 2023 at 9:47 PM Lol, yes, it is a rare talent to do so among chickens to be sure, Frosty is a rare breed I guess!

Tom Cunningham February 2, 2023 at 12:44 AM Lol love it BJ, short and sweet, a bit like the hens life oops. Tom Bj Legros Kelley March 2, 2023 at 9:38 PM Lol, yes, sadly they don't live too long, even if they die a natural death, which is very unnatural when it comes to a hen's life!
