Security at the Hen House

All around the peaceful barn yard				 	
  everyone’s  sleeping while I’m on graveyard		 			
    watching for the shrewd  fox dude	
		 
Cock-a-doodle-doo! I spew				 
      Time all  lazy diehards to...

22 Shorts In a Barnyard Vise
Have you ever thought back and remembered a time,
when poor judgment nearly cost you… your prime.
There were fifty-22 cal bullets in the ammo box I found,
 mishandling Remington’s bullets… could put you in the ground.

Putting the box in my pocket, thinking what should I do?
Squeeze...

Premium Member Barnyard Chickens
It has been said that we are,
A quiet, curious, sweet bird, full of personality;
We have tons of sisters (brothers) and a mom and father with no feathers,
Love our seed, food scraps and treats given daily;
Feel loved, protected and cuddled, so we lay an egg or...

Premium Member Back To the Barnyard
When strangers see me they laugh
Thinking I have no class
But I tell the farmer they're here
Cause I'm smart and I have no fear
I'm the guardian most preferred
Over cattle, goat and sheep herds
I always announce all strangers
And alert of immediate danger
I'm loyal, gentle and kind
Jump higher...

Premium Member Back To the Barnyard
My owners call me horse
You'd think I was barnyard watch dog
Fancy that. My spot beneath a shaded guava tree
Face rustic oversize shack with wide veranda
Where they rock. They watch me feed
Where green grass grow, where fowls and pigs stray
Feasting on ripe guavas, some bounce off...

Back To the Barnyard
Back TO THE BARNYARD
I slip outside, my tail a twirl
where my whiskers test the breeze.
Such disgusting cretins so uncouth
and a few that make me sneeze. (HISS)

I slink and skirt past porcine ones 
and the cows are crashing bores.
yellow chicks, forbidden fruit
or they’ll toss me out...

Premium Member The Talk of the Barnyard
She is the talk of the barnyard the alpaca’s whispered in tones.
She is gorgeous, leggy, furry, and she has the prettiest bones.
We were anxious to meet her but were jealous right away of course.
Everyone was super excited about her beauty, even the camel and horse....

Barnyard Birds
I love chickens, roosters and hens-
I like to watch them walk in their pens,
Big, red roosters with combs on their heads-
Little, red hens who roost high in their beds.

Chickens are dumb and That is a fact-
Out among others they show very little tact,
If they were...

Premium Member Barnyard Follies
My chicken has been flickin'
Her feathers in the hay
The cattle waged a battle
In their field the other day
A turkey feeling perky
Jumped up and ran away
Feeling daft, I laughed and laughed,
That's all I've got to say....

Premium Member Barnyard Rump With a Duck Named Trump
into the barnyard with a high knee-jerk

a yellow duck waddles in with a smirk

it pecks the hens on the rump

Old Mac Donald named it Trump

like the president he's hard up at work

Premium Member News From the Barnyard
It was morning in the barnyard, and no breakfast could be found
Fred Rooster and his brood of hens, pecked clean the barren ground
The morning air was misty, with dark and cloudy skies
Across a busy highway, with traffic whizzing by
There were fertile fields just planted, with...
