PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I saw something quite rather quaint today

or rather strange supreme

on the back of a very large flat bed truck

rode a big old barnyard red rooster and his

sweet little gray hen

as content as could be expected

if not more so

as they roosted upon their jaunty ride

it was amazingly timeless

almost to see

two sweetly contented

though modernly moving poultry

quite happy it would seem just to be

riding together astride an old hay

strewn work truck

just as proud as you please

such a farmer's right to sight actually

made my day

this I must notably confess

but I truly have to admit

I really did wonder

just what happened to those lovely

coo some two some

at the final end of their sunny riding

quest

one can only hope that they moved to a

very nice far

where old Macdonald himself begged them

to be his most cherished of all guests!........
