Chickened Out Poem by Kim Barney
Chickened Out
Bri Edwards has lost his last hen,
so it's time to go buy some again.
With his hens he will play,
while he hopes they will lay.
That old bear will be back. Who knows when?
It would be wise for Bri not to keep chickens or to shift to a safer place.
Bri's safe as a mouse when in his house, but when outside he must beware of the bear!
Bharati, thank you for commenting. I, for one, would LOVE to live where Bri lives!
It's yet another 'stunning' (perhaps in MORE than one way) poem. And it's a fine limerick; I counted the 'syllables' to be sure. AND it has humour/humor, though not all may agree.
Oh, Kim, another brilliant poem, based on (part of) the life of Bri; that's ME! ! And partly on the death of the departed hens, may they rest in peace (RIP) . Thay ALREADY have rested in pieces. : ) : ((

I guess you need more than chicken wire to keep out a black bear! A great limerick and nice picture!
Thanks, Ron. I appreciate the comment.
