Chicken Delight
By Michael Berg
Feedstore owner and poet

Since little chicks they played and frolicked
during happy days of spring,
They shed their downy feathers,
became strong in leg and wing.

They played the serious funny games
that little chickens do,
Hopscotch, leapfrog, catch a bug,
chase me and I'll chase you.

Games are played to achieve an end
and leapfrog became a disguise,
Her motto was trust while his was lust,
And she got a pullet-zer prize.
