All I Need To Know In Life I Learned From My Chickens

 

by Michaele Oleson

 

 

 

Wake up early, stay busy

 

 

Rest when you need to, but always stay alert

 

 

Visit your favourite places every day

 

 

Scratch out a living

 

 

Routine is good Plump is good

 

 

Don't ponder your purpose in life - your brain is too small

 

 

Accept the pecking order and know your enemies

 

 

Weed your garden

 

 

Look after your children

 

 

- Sit on them if necessary-

 

 

Take them for walks, show them the little things and talk constantly

 

 

Make a nice nest - share it with friends

 

 

Brag on your accomplishments

 

 

Protect your nest egg

 

 

Test your wings once in a while

 

 

Squawk when necessary

 

 

As you age, demand respect

 

 

Leave a little something for those who care about you

 

 

Chase butterflies

[Egluntyne]

I love it!

[Snowy]

Thanks Jillus, I love it! I don't often send group emails, but I've also sent this to a few of my friends. It really speaks to me for some reason, can't think why

[Ana's flock]

I took the text from this poem and put in over a background of my chickens and boys in the garden, printed it off and it now hangs in my sitting room board, next to other 'philosophical' writings... give me the simple things any day!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

That's fantastic .

 

I particularly like "plump is good" - I may adopt that as my own mantra .

[Jules.]

Piper Kit works with that rule whenever possible
