The day was wet the rain fell souse	A
Like jars of strawberry jam a	B
sound was heard in the old henhouse	A
A beating of a hammer	C
Of stalwart form and visage warm	D
Two youths were seen within it	E
Splitting up an old tree into perches for their poultry	F
At a hundred strokes a minute	G
The work is done the hen has taken	H
Possession of her nest and eggs	A
Without a thought of eggs and bacon	H
Or I am very much mistaken happy	F
She turns over each shell	I
To be sure that all's well	I
Looks into the straw	J
To see there's no flaw	J
Goes once round the house	A
Half afraid of a mouse	A
Then sinks calmly to rest	K
On the top of her nest	K
First doubling up each of her legs	A
Time rolled away and so did every shell	I
'Small by degrees and beautifully less '	L
As the large mother with a powerful spell	I
Forced each in turn its contents to express	A
But ah 'imperfect is expression '	L
Some poet said I don't care who	M
If you want to know you must go elsewhere	N
One fact I can tell if you're willing to hear	O
He never attended a Parliament Session	H
For I'm certain that if he had ever been there	N
Full quickly would he have changed his ideas	A
With the hissings the hootings the groans and the cheers	A
And as to his name it is pretty clear	P
That it wasn't me and it wasn't you	M
	-
And so it fell upon a day	Q
That is it never rose again	R
A chick was found upon the hay	Q
Its little life had ebbed away	Q
No longer frolicsome and gay	Q
No longer could it run or play	Q
'And must we chicken must we part '	-
Its master cried with bursting heart	S
And voice of agony and pain	T
So one whose ticket's marked 'Return'	T
When to the lonely roadside station	T
He flies in fear and perturbation	T
Thinks of his home the hissing urn	T
Then runs with flying hat and hair	N
And entering finds to his despair	N
He's missed the very last train	T
	-
Too long it were to tell of each conjecture	C
Of chicken suicide and poultry victim	U
The deadly frown the stern and dreary lecture	C
The timid guess 'perhaps some needle pricked him '	-
The din of voice the words both loud and many	T
The sob the tear the sigh that none could smother	C
Till all agreed 'a shilling to a penny	T
It killed itself and we acquit the mother '	-
Scarce was the verdict spoken	T
When that still calm was broken	T
A childish form hath burst into the throng	V
With tears and looks of sadness	A
That bring no news of gladness	A
But tell too surely something hath gone wrong	V
'The sight I have come upon	T
The stoutest heart would sicken	T
That nasty hen has been and gone	T
And killed another chicken '	-
