THE LADY - MY FEATHERY FRIEND

Here is a poem I wrote (photo's of THE LADY, chicken, on my Instagram account daisymeadows2023. Photo's by @leebrewin) THE LADY (the chicken) - MY FEATHERY FRIEND THE LADY I wake up in the morning, In the eglu, warm and safe from harm, I will cluck along until you let me out, Lee, you don't need an alarm!! LEE *It's The Lady!! ", I said, But just let me have 5 more minutes please, To rest my weary head!! Then I will let you out, Even though you got me out of bed!! I will set you free, To roam around the garden, Where you keep me company. You like to go foraging, And I feed you mealworms, Then you go dustbathing, To protect your feathers from germs. THE LADY Later, you go back inside your home, I jump up at the window, Won't you let me in?? Lee looks shocked, standing there, And smiles with a grin. LEE (goes back outside) Wondering around the garden together, Being outdoors and free, Enjoying the fresh air, The Lady and me. Don't worry, my feathery friend, You won't end up in a stew, I will protect you, And look after you. THE LADY So grateful, To be looked after by you, Having warmth, food and freedom, Just to say,, "Thank you," In my eglu nest, I lay an egg or 2, Happy days!!
