Ode to my chickens

Recommended Posts

Sincere apologies to Freddie Mercury...

 

The Farnsworth chickens

We are all feathery

Live in an Eglu

Sometimes we will get corn for tea

 

Open your eyes

Cluck in great surprise and seeeeee

Oh look it's Elphie

She's falling out that tree

Because she's meowing high, meowing low

Scratching at the sofa - 'NO'!

Vomming up a hairball

What a very naughty Elphieeeee

Bad Elphie...

 

Hello - a Sussex Star

The hybrid that I am

I lay eggs oh yes I can

Hard work!

It takes a while

To lay them nice and make the humans smile

 

Chickens! Oo-oo-oo-ooooo!

We like to run around

We eat them dandelions, so fresh and tasty

And they're good for our health, and they make our yolks all yellow

 

Oh dear! It's raining now

Don't want to be all soggy

The run floor is getting boggy

Maybe at the weekend

They'll move the run

And then we'll get a brand new place to poo...

 

Tabby cat! Boo-oo-oo-oooo!

That isn't Elphie, no,

We'll scare it off and make this garden Elphie's!

 

[guitar solo!]

 

We hear a little sound of footsteps on the lawn

It is light! It is light! It is time for getting up now!

What a night it has been, need to have a bit of grit!

 

I need water! I need dust bath!

I am flapping! I am preening!

I am hungry and I need...

Mash would be nice and it's rather yummy

And we'd like weeds and also some kitchen s"Ooops, word censored!"s

Maybe some grapes and a slug or two or three

 

Eglu blue, Eglu nice,

Elphie catching mice

 

(A live one!) 'Noooo! Don't bring it in the house!'

Let it go!

(A live one!) 'Noooo! Go outside with your mouse!'

Let it go!

(I like it!) 'Not wanted in the house!

'I do not like your mouse

'I do not like your mouse

'Now take it out the house and let it goooooo...'

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

 

Cat in the garden, the back garden

Where we're eating all the weeds

We're gardening! And the compost heap it likes our poo-oo-oo, our poo-oo-oo

Our pooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[guitar solo!]

 

We are digging for worms since we're clipped and can't fly

Levitation for us? No! No route to the sky-y-yyy!

Weeeeeee're grounded

That's okay though as long as

We can free range

We can free range before bedtime

 

Oooo-oooo-oooo! Broccoli! Broccoli!

We are happy ladies

You can see it's true

Happy happy chickens

Cosy in our royal blue eglu....

 

(Can we have some corn now?)
