Coming of Age

A cute wee pullet

Became a hen today.

If I knew which one,

I’d throw a par-tay.


You see, I found a small egg

Among all the rest,

Snuggled in the hay

Of their favorite nest.


This is always a sign

That the young are of age.

I must confess,

It’s an exciting stage.


I asked around,

For to know would be swell,

But not one bird

Was about to tell.


Is the bird mafia

Keeping things tickin’?

No name would they give

Because each one was a chicken!
