THE HEN

Reading edition

Illustration from Rhymes of a child's world: a book of verse for children

The hen is such a funny fowl For all she has to do Is walk around all day, and eat, And cock her eye at you; And always, when she’s being fed She quickly singles out The choicest bit, and seizing it She rushes all about And eats it far from other hens With quite a show of greed; Then cocks her eye and walks about— Oh, what a life to lead!
