Too Many Chicks
So many years
ago in days
of my youth,
as I was
walking down
the street uptown.
Saw a sign
which read
baby chicks,
only 1 penny
each, what
a deal that
was I said
to my self
so I bought
100 of them,
took them home
my mom said
too many chicks
that would be
she let me
keep a few,
the rest went
back to feed
store, this
ending my dream
of fame and fortune
as a chicken king tycoon.
