Weasel In The Hen House Comments

Best weasel excuse I've yet heard! Loved it.

3. The poem ranks 77 in the Top 100 poems of Members, featuring on PoemHunter. Congratulations, Kim!

2. The reason for the weasel killing the entire hen cited in the poem is not correct, because the hen cower when they find it near their pen and start croaking in fear. They never attack.

Lovely lovely poem. Enjoyed. Reading the poem (loved it, so I read it thrice) , I am pretty sure that Bri's contribution to it is minimal, if any. 😀

The reason they do it, might be simpler than your poem suggest. Like some politicians, they do it because they can get away with it. Nobody stops them.

(2) Very good poem, by the way, and nice picture!

So THAT'S why they do it! We had trouble with weasels killing chickens when I was growing up, too.

I believe this is a good stab at making a limerick & maybe it IS. I may not be correct, BUT 'Merriam-Webster', online dictionary gives 'killed' one syllable, not 2. (cont.)

Ok, what I said about 'grammatically correct' MIGHT not be totally correct. I'd use 'Henhouse', not 'Hen House', but we 'poets' DO have 'poetic license'!

As usual, the poem is Intelligent (my offering) , entertaining (our offering) , nicely-rhymes, AND grammatically correct. : ) bri

Lol Kim I needed a good laugh! ! ! !
