Poem 36 - 😈 Dream shows the reality 😈

Jul 30, 2021

My dream last night was so strange,

It had a tint of mishap & loads of fun! 🤪

It had a fabulous amount of fiction,

As expected, I was believed by none! 🤦‍♀️

Last night there was a burglar in my dream,

In the night, they were hard to spot. 🌃

I crept downstairs and grabbed my torch,

In a minute, they would be in jail, I thought. 🚨

I flashed the torchlite beam around the yard,

And then I spotted a group of stout chickens. 🐔

The biggest, the most stout one said worriedly,

You can call me chicken king or Mr. Dickens, 🤷‍♀️

“So, Mr. Dickens”, I said trying to sound calm,

Why are you fearful and sounding so low? 😱

Can I help you with some food or service?

Is there somewhere you all want to go?🛣️

Chicken king replied, I want to visit a farm,

Where humans help me investigate and see. 🕵️‍♀️

Why no women chickens can lay egg now,

What is wrong with my kind and me? 🙅‍♀️

Then, the next day they were going back,

And Mr. Dickens and the others thanked me.🙏

For I revealed their “Illness” to them,

I just told it like a vet, you see. 👩‍⚕️

I said “With you, there's nothing wrong”,

Your owners take your eggs when you're asleep.🥚

But it happens to many chickens in the world,

The world is so mean, it makes me really weep. 😭
