Pardon me if this poem or plot starts to thicken,
But there’s an exceptional blog known as Vomiting Chicken!
What a name for a blog! It has wit and pzazz!
It’s full of family, good humour, and all of that jazz!
Tales of Little Mack, horses and severe winter frost,
When catching a guinea, the battle’s usually lost,
How the worms from the worm farm tried to make an escape,
Till they got moved and rehoused in a more congenial place,
Don’t take my word for it, why don’t you go ask her,
Just what Amy’s chickens are up to up there in Nebraska.
They have names like Babes, Ginger, Silk, Oakley and Puff,
Now seriously reader, I just can’t get enough,
Of their battles with an oppossum of gigantic size,
Who attempted to take all those chickens by stealth, by surprise,
But was eventually trapped and dispatched by brave Grandpa’s gun,
So the hens could roost in peace in their safe chicken run.
Dear readers, I hope, reading about it, you’ll all take my cue,
And go pay a visit to this blog site without more ado!
I like that blog too.
It’s fun, isn’t it?
I must take a peek at Vomiting Chickens. As for shooting possums–I’m not sure. Protect the hens by fair means or foul?
Well, if you had an entire flock savaged by a fox or similar you might not be so quick to judge!
Double love this since I love both your blogs!
Good!
Oh, Caro, what can I say?? I am so humbled and honored! You are too good to me! I guess this proves that you can write a winsome poem about ANYTHING. Bless you!
You are most welcome! I had fun writing it and re-reading the associated blogs…I hope Little Mack likes it too!
That is wonderful, catches the blog very nicely. We declare you to be the Poet Laureate of the Internet.
Thank you William! Flattery will get you everywhere!
Great poem and it sounds like a great blog – I’ll have to take a look! 🙂
Thanks! It is! And it’s well worth a look!
I read the Vomiting Chicken blog and enjoy it. Love the stories, love the photos, love the title, love the chickens. (I owned chickens years ago when spouse and I lived in rural Arkansas). I second your appointment as the Poet Laureate of the Internet, Caro. Do you think anyone has ever written a poem before with the name “vomiting chicken” in it? How do you come up with these daily poems?
It’s a great blog isn’t it? I was asked by William Chaney to write about vanilla, and so I did. Amy told me she loved the poem but was a trifle jealous, so I wrote one for her! I guess I just write about what pops into my head that day…
I have always wondered about your blog’s name. This was so interesting!
The blog belongs to Amy Young Miller and it’s great fun!
Well this is yet another arc de triumph… just amazing as is the name of Amy Millers blog !
Thank you sweetheart! I is limbering up for Ladies’ Day at Ascot..
