Just-B-Cause

Good Monday's Farm

Megan, a fat pig, went to bed,
By morning she was thinner,
And ten little piglets were running about,
All squealing for their dinner.

Bella, the broody hen, strutted past.
Clucking and making a fuss.
"Those piglets are far too noisy." she said.
"You should try laying eggs like us!"

 

Megan was very indignant!
She snorted "Don't be absurd.
My piglets are truly beautiful,
And you're just a silly bird!"

Henrietta heard the argument,
So she told Mad Mark and Sue.
The rooster shook his golden head
Crowing Cock-a-doodle Doo.

Mad Mark said "The pigs are the silly ones,
For their lives will be forsaken.
While chickens like us keep producing the eggs,
Our humans will always want bacon!"

That's how it happened at Good Monday's Farm,
I am pleased to report it's now quiet.
The old hens are laying dozens of eggs.
And the piglets are trying to diet!
