We
are planning on getting some backyard chickens. And my son and I have been
doing some research on breeds. Today we struck on a breed that I had an immediate
negative reaction to how it looked. My son thought this was hilarious. He
usually doesn’t get the concept of teasing for fun and doesn’t like to be teased
himself, most of the time even when it is all in fun. Today, he didn’t let this
go and wanted more and more of a reaction out of me. His giggles are the very
best reward!
Naked
Chicken Tickles
I
showed it to you as a joke
Now,
the joke’s on me
The
all-day giggles given
By
one image and name
Of
a possible chicken
Or
impossible to my mind
You
find it very funny
And
now, it amuses me too
That
you are so amused
By
one ugly chicken
The
name alone is laugh worthy
I
thought so at the time
It
is real
But
here’s the deal
We
are not getting one
They
don’t look fun
They
look rather homely
Not
friendly at all
Perhaps, I shouldn’t judge
A
chicken by it’s looks alone
But
it is our home
And
I have to look at them
In
our yard
It
could be hard
To
attach myself
To
something that looks like that
It
will be our joke for days
You
will lobby for them
Just
to say the name
And
tease your way
And
to say “I love your distress,”
And
I am delighted
You
want to relate to me
You
can bring me a hundred
Pictures
of those ugly chickens
If
our laughter it sets free
