Super Chicken Returns

If I was a chicken, I would lay ten eggs a day Stay busy while the other chickens played Be the best chicken and stay in the hay So when that farmer gets hungry Probably this Sunday He will pick chicken too lazy to lay Just to be sure, I will stay out of sight Stop my clucking, only eating at night This plan should work, it's all air tight Saturday's over, sun's coming up I cross my toes, just for luck Then heard those words "chicken tonight?" The farmer was swift and opened the gate Eight chickens got out, but one was too late The chicken was kicking and taken away Served at dinner, outside Of course it was fried That chicken's in a basket, touch'e " I say" Then I gathered the chickens there in the coop They feared that wicker casket, as I did too We said the chicken prayer, for our pal Stu "Let us stick together Feather to feather Until fried some Sunday, then Monday's soup"

10 eggs a day must keep a chicken very busy and exhausted too, Mitch! Way to go. Congratulations on your contest success! Love, Carolyn
