[thechickenkeeper]

Hi there BYC keepers, he's a little poem I wrote recently, I hope you like it, and do share some of your own with me. cheers.

THE COMEDIAN by ROBERT CALLAGHAN.

To make people laugh is the goal
Bringing some joy to feed the soul
It’s the best medicine man can supply!
But not from a bottle, it’s from you and I

Humour can be funny, humour can be cruel
As long as you’re laughing, that’s the only rule
So if you are offended, or if you get upset
It’s just a joke, remember that, don’t forget

If you choose to heckle, then think on this
It’s a comedian’s job to take the piss
You’ll probably come off second best
At least it’s a laugh for all the rest

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show
Let that smile on your face grow and grow
When your ready to laugh, make it loud
Let the comedian know, you’re a good crowd.

BACKYARD CHICKEN KEEPERS

Alas it seem's too clear to me
That you lot don't write poetry
I thought at least one of you might
But no replies, not one in sight

They are so simple to write you see
Have a go, then send it to me
It can be about, absoultely anything
You're the author, the one typing

So please let out your inner poet
You be rhyming words before you know it
Then when you're asked' what did you do today?'
With pride, ' I wrote some poetry!' you say.

Pygmy Goats

The pygmy goats are running wild
They're tearing up creation
They ate my Fedex and my shrub
They ate my insulation

They frolic on the deck and leave me
Shiny little pellets
They carry cardboard through the yard
With paper to embellish

I tried to keep them in their pen
A space that is quite roomy
They couldn't breathe, they felt confined
They simply found it gloomy

And so they wander, leaving gifts
Of trash and sticks and turds
I'm not angry , they're just expressing
Joy without words.

My Offering

My poem was old, I must admit
I wrote it years ago
But no one answered to your plea
I felt I had to show

This is for chicken folks, I know
My song was about goats
But chickens are quite recent
And I don't have any notes

With time to cogitate, I'm sure
I'll write about my hens
But haste, it drove me earlier
I had to post right then!

I will return with poetry
Of birds so fair and fowl
Unless you'd rather that I don't
Do my rhymes make you growl?

the cat wore a hat
while it sat on a mat
swatting at a gnat
next to a rat
who thought he was fat
when he held his bat

BRILLIANT!!! (hey, it rhymes

)
