TALE OF THREE CHICKS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There once were three chicks: Ally, Babba, and Louise They wanted to go hiking, but each had problematic knees. “Oh our knees are so weak, Oh our torn cartilage” they shrieked. We’ll go to the mall, rent a Segway, if you please.” Ally, Babba, and Louise were quite bold and astute, To the mall they went, in feathery pursuit. A Segway they hired, Then, onward, inspired, To Cheesecake Factory before hiking, toot-toot-toot-toot! But then the menu appeared! Oh what to do? Chicken was on the menu, a feathery stew. Waitress served them chicken ragout Frightened, their faces turned blue. "Good heavens!" they cried. “Let’s get outta here. "Coo-coo-coo!"

Yep, chickens should avoid roasts and barbecues. Writers. And buggy jumping? Just thought I would throw that in. Very funny write. Enjoyed.

You have a way with limericks. I always enjoy your limericks, especially on small animals and birds. Your poetic out put is very high, dear Sara.... every day coming out with new poems.

thank you, Valsa...you're most kind. I once avoided Limericks but now rather like them. As far as my poetic output--I was away from PS for almost a year. During that time I wrote a gazillion poems that I'm not able to share. thanks for noticing, hugs, Sara
