Naming Chickens
If you name your
chickens
you’ll never cut
off their head
‘Cause you’ll never
put mash potatoes
next to anything
called Fred
You’ll never shake
–n – bake
good ‘ol Mary Lou
And you won’t make
chicken – n – dumplings
when Ellies in the
stew
You’ll never have
down pillows
or a feather tick
‘Cause your never
gonna’ pluck
a critter you call
Rick
You’ll never have
chicken salad
if Cluckie's in the
mix
And no more chicken
tacos
if Speckles is the
fix
when Waddles under
crust
if you’re wrapping
Russ
There ain’t no
chicken
sandwich
if Nelly is the
fill
if you have to
batter
Bill
There’s so many
tasty
things
that poultry can
provide
Far beyond the
egg
hidden underneath
their
hide
So don’t go naming chickens
if for these things
you
long
Unless you’re
settin’
up
a chicken
retirement home
