It was raising quite a sweat

All funky chickened...

The peacock is heartbroken
He joins the turkeys
Because the chickens are just
Colorless walking feathers....

King of the barnyard standing tall
Crowing loud for all to hear
Worry not about the laughter, when you fall
I’m sure it’s not sincere...

lion
magnetic, powerful
lounging, lulling, studying
Africa, grasslands, barnyard, meadow
prancing, cavorting, playing
delicate, innocence

pecking the dust, without strife…

Poor chickens walking around in the barnyard
Have no idea what's ahead, understanding is hard
Never had a nasty bone
Never strayed from home
Loyal family chickens so the dangers they ignored...

in violet dawn
he screeches a world awake
barnyard bugler struts

the sun is coming
and he's the first one to know
blooms and butterflies

red rooster so bold
like desert cactus flowers
and amber at noon...

BARNYARD BOUQUET

Poor Mahitabel
Got et the yard boys do tell
Little Johnny’s pet

Johnny’s pal got et
Noisiest bird iver heard
Gobblin day and night

Ran em plum ragged
Put up one helluva fight
What a bedlam sight...

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....

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

With long hair wrapped up, rugged nails dirt dipped,
denim overalls and barnyard boots,
I set forth to get them gnarly raspberry stalks clipped,
and return with harvested horseradish roots
and frost freshened persimmon fruits.

Chickens are funny 
In so many ways
Barnyard clowns for sure
Pecking and clucking
Fighting over feed

Some are road kill
Suicidal
Kamikaze
Free range chickens

White feathers
Golden beaks
Staring eyes

Barnyard
Cackling
Magic

Chicks...

Scratching the ground
And pecking around,
Chewing on cud,
Wallowing in mud,
Sheering the lawn
And crowing at dawn,
Running for sticks,
Grooming with licks,
Prancing for show
And hee-hawing no,
Chewing on tin,
Both women and men
Are like barnyard animals....

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 gossip was a buzz
Old goat had snagged himself a young bride
Farmer Jones wiped off chicken fuzz
And promptly ran back inside

Come see! He told his wife. It’s true.
The bride wore white, she carried blue.
Other farmers came by to see.
Old goat made some kind of history....

  Good to know that we can be sure that Ms. Claudine Gay
  Harvard's newest president was thoroughly vetted, 'the Harvard way'

    She's good with Harvard's policy that using the wrong pronoun is abuse
    But 'context is required' to discipline those who scream 'Genocide for Jews'...

Rooster, king of the barnyard, strutt your stuff
Stretch your flexible neck enjoy today
That neck will be great in dumplings, stew soon
Flop those flap away wings like you can fly
See if they carry the rooster away
Up into the safety of the blue sky
Mmmm revenge taste delicious served hot...
