There was a hen
Which lived wrong
Its resolves were strong
Although its father was stern
II
It went to work
Looking very bright
And giving all fright
Its responsibilities shirk
III
It perplexed humans to bits
Making women cry out
And scared children to shout
Making men throw fits
IV
Then celebrations dawned
And called for meat
Though many old hens dragged tired feet
It was the one all mouths pawned
V
It woke up making sure all are wronged
None bothered, for they awaited the feast
It stepped on a pot which caged the beast
And ended up satisfying all it had wronged
VI
I need not tell of its shouts for long
Calling all to give aid
But none any attention paid
Because it lived a life so wrong
