Excerpt from The Business Hen (the Latest Hatch)
There's lots of folks that love a horse
About as well as they know how.
We ain't all built alike - of course
There's them that do just love a cow
Above their wives. Some folks will sleep
When hogs or horses have the talk,
But start a word edgeways on sheep
And see the way their tongues will walk.
And some folks sit up half the night
To paint the virtues of a hog,
And I know folks uncommon bright,
Who rub their love thick on a dog.
I have, as now I do rejoice
No quarrel with my fellow men,
But of all animals my choice
Forever is - the Business Hen.
She may not average quite so strong
As sheep or hog or horse or cow,
But then she rolls her eggs along
And pays her bills - that suits me now.
I'm not the one to fight or knock
When others claim big things - but then
My mind is made up like a rock;
You can't fool me - I love the hen.
